Japanese Translation Services
Due in large part to Japan’s place as one of the leading gaming hubs worldwide, the Japanese language is the third most prevalent language on the internet behind English and Spanish. It is also the ninth most spoken language in the world. Among its audience of almost 127 million people, the complexities of Japanese are well-known:
- Three different alphabets
- Very limited use of Latin script (typically reserved for important acronyms and similar terms)
- Various levels of politeness, each with its own subtle differences
- The use of honorifics – the use of titles to show varying degrees of respect – in an intricate way
- Formal style of business writing compared to other languages (especially English)
Consequently, effective Japanese subtitling and translating demands native Japanese speakers with an intimate knowledge of the language and the culture. Only real people who intuitively know and understand these subtle nuances can create quality Japanese communication. No machine translator to-date can produce native-sounding Japanese that isn’t clunky, unnatural, or even incomprehensible. The art of the Japanese language requires a human touch.
At LubasLab, our writing and translation team provides exactly that: accurate Japanese translation and original Japanese web content that is both appropriate and effective to communicate your message, whatever it might be.
