Japanese translation & interpretation
Accelerating e-book technology has driven the demand for Japanese books in overseas markets, increasing inquiries for book and publication translations.
Our TMJ JAPAN translation coordinator assigns translators specializing in the contents of each publication to produce high-quality translations.
Book and publication translations translate materials published in Japan for overseas audiences, and for materials from overseas for consumption in Japan. These include instruction manuals, business books, specialty publications, and novels.
Translating books and magazines originally published overseas to Japanese is referred to as publication translation.
TMJ JAPAN translators who are native speakers of the languages before and after translation translate and review the book. In addition, Professional coordinators specializing in book translation manage the process to achieve the high quality required by our customers.

Our contract translation service supports multiple languages, primarily "Japanese → English" and "English → Japanese" translation, but also offers other languages such as Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Chinese, and Korean.
We always assign translators whose native language is the target language and who have expertise in the target field for all translations.
The translation fee is determined based on the combination of the “supported language” and the “document type” (A to C).
