Features
AtGlobal provides interpreting not only in Japanese and English, but also in Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, and many other languages.
Our interpreters are more than just language translators. They live locally, understand cultural and business practices in depth, and guide your business toward success.
01
Deep Understanding of Local Culture and Practices
Our native Japanese interpreters based overseas possess knowledge of geography, culture, business customs, daily life, and safety in their country of residence. This allows them to interpret not only words but also background and nuance, enabling smooth communication during negotiations and site visits.
02
Close Coordination with Interpreters
As native Japanese speakers, our interpreters ensure seamless pre-meetings and communication, with reliable support available in case of any issues. Being fully adapted to the local language environment, they accurately convey subtle nuances, technical terms, and business-specific expressions.
03
Flexible Response to Unexpected Situations
Because they live locally, interpreters can respond quickly to real-time situations and emergencies. They can utilize local networks to handle sudden schedule changes or urgent matters, providing flexible and reliable support.
04
Excellent Cost Performance
By hiring interpreters based locally, you avoid airfare and accommodation costs from Japan, significantly reducing overall expenses. AtGlobal delivers high-quality interpreting services at competitive and transparent prices.
