Certified document translation – for authorities and courts
Japanese is one of the most complex languages in the world: three writing systems, a high degree of context dependence, large formal differences between levels of politeness. Professional Japanese-German translations therefore require professional native speakers with a deep understanding of culture, subject-matter terminology and industry-specific requirements.

Industries and fields of application for Japanese translations
Technical, legal and scientific translations from Japanese place high demands: many terms have no direct equivalent in German; technical documentation must be rendered consistently in accordance with standards; legal texts require absolute accuracy with sections, wordings and official terms. Our Japanese translators have many years of experience in industry, mechanical engineering, electronics, the automotive sector, pharma, IT and research. We work with clearly defined terminology processes, create consistent professional glossaries and ensure that user manuals, safety data sheets, contracts, patents and scientific reports arrive in German correctly and comprehensibly. In addition, we take into account cultural subtleties that are decisive for business communication, marketing and cooperation projects. Every project is checked in several stages, treated confidentially and delivered on time.
For time-critical projects we offer express Japanese-German translations within 24 hours.
