I am a freelance translator (English > Japanese, Japanese > English; Japanese native speaker) based in the U.K. I am a highly competent and articulate user of both English and Japanese.
My main experience of business translation comes from working in one of the largest international electronics companies and a major insurance company in Japan. The types of translation I've done include technical specifications, user manuals, press releases, presentation scripts for international conferences for directors, as well as business negotiation emails and letters to other electronics companies, etc. I also have a lot of proofreading experience, and have excellent attention to detail.
My educational background is linguistics-related and I have obtained higher degrees (M.A. in Linguistics; Ph.D. in Psycholinguistics & Neurolinguistics) in the U.K. Having direct experience of reading and writing academic papers as well as presenting at international conferences enabled me to acquire not only expertise in specific fields but also skills in reading/writing and speech to professional academic standards.
Having lived in the U.K. for more than 7 years, I have a deep understanding and practical knowledge of British culture, current affairs and cultural references. I am well versed in colloquial expressions in English and am able to extract their underlying meanings and nuances. | This user has earned KudoZ points by helping other translators with PRO-level terms.
