Hitoko Hombu

I am a Japanese translator and interpreter of twenty-seven years experience.



I have worked as a freelance Japanese translator in England for the last ten years in the Advertising, film and health & beauty industries. Most recently, over the last two years and a half I have been combining my two areas of expertise, translation and the beauty industry, in a translation and interpretation role for Vidal Sassoon Training Academy, NHS (National health Service) and Family Court hearings, Holiday cars website, transcript for Yoganatomy DVD and website, an exsaminer in Defence school of language. Prior to this, I was working in Japan as a freelance English Translator for fourteen years in the recruitment, advertising, film and health & beauty industries. My broad experience and thorough knowledge of the Japanese and English languages, both formal and informal, has given me great depth and versatility in translating and interpreting. Although I haven’t got experience working in the finance company, privately I worked for some kind of financial documents. Also to deal with unusual matter is a good point of my ability and I’m confident to work for it.



In addition to my translation skills, I am a reliable, organised and flexible in regards to working hours. I work well within a team or independently and I am a fast learner and confident that I could make a significant contribution to your project and in order to prove my abilities I am willing to provide a free work trial at a time of your convenience.
