Requirement Confirmation
We will confirm the setting in which interpretation is needed and review the specific content.
Based on factors such as duration, interpretation type (simultaneous or consecutive), and number of participants, we will determine the number of interpreters required and any necessary equipment.
Quotation Preparation
Based on the information provided during the requirement confirmation stage, TMJ Japan calculates the cost by estimating the number of interpreters and necessary equipment.
The quotation will include interpreter fees, travel expenses, interpretation equipment (such as booths or portable systems like PanaGuide), and any additional travel costs for remote locations.
Interpreter Arrangement
Once you confirm the quotation, we will assign the most suitable interpreter(s) based on the industry, subject matter, and language requirements.
For large-scale events, we can also dispatch a director and technical engineer along with the interpreters, if needed.
Pre-Event Meeting
After confirming the assigned interpreter(s), we will conduct a detailed meeting with you to review the event content, interpretation format, and key considerations.
If necessary, we can also arrange a separate meeting between you and the interpreter(s), typically about one week before the event. (Please note: additional fees apply for pre-event meetings.)
Interpretation
On the day of the event, our interpreters will arrive at the designated time and location to provide interpretation services. Our dedicated interpretation coordinator will support you until just before the event begins. For larger events, the coordinator will accompany the team on-site as a director to oversee operations.
Post-Event Review
After the meeting or event, we assess interpreter quality and client satisfaction. This feedback is recorded to inform future assignments and help us continuously improve the quality of our interpretation services.

Customer Testimonials
Affordable, high-quality Interpretation that is well-received in internal meetings
We’ve been using TMJ JAPAN for simultaneous English-Japanese interpretation during our weekly internal meetings.
One major factor that set TMJ JAPAN apart from other companies is their special pricing for online meetings of up to one hour. This made them a highly cost-effective option when we were selecting a provider.
"In terms of quality, even highly technical content is handled smoothly when we share presentation materials in advance.
We’re also grateful that the same interpreter is assigned every week - this continuity has clearly improved the quality of interpretation over time."
We consistently receive positive feedback from our staff after each session.
