English Translation
English Translation Service
For English translation, we assign the right translator to the right job, depending on the intended use of the translation, the desired finish, and the field and content of the document to be translated. We will also propose the best schedule and procedures to meet your desired turnaround time. Atglobal is committed to providing professional and hospitable service that truly contributes to the realization of our clients’ business goals.
Our professional translators are well versed in the cultural and linguistic differences between English-speaking countries and Japan, and can translate your documents into natural, easy-to-read text that accurately captures the meaning of the source text. Generally, translations from Japanese into English follow the conventions of American English, but we can also produce translations in British English upon request.
In addition, a skilled proofreader familiar with the target language will always double-check the translation to eliminate mistranslations, omissions, and misspellings, as well as rewrite the text to make it easier to read. For an optional fee, we also have extensive experience in the creation of more appealing text, including brush-ups, catchphrases, and transcreation.
American and British English are supported.
