Comment:
I am one of the very few (native) Germans in Japan, who can translate directly from
Japanese into German (or English too) and have NEVER been late with ANY of my assignments. My work, when checked by German engineers working at
German branches of Japanese companies (Nikon, Fuji etc.) in Germany usually earns a very good reputation.
