About Takashi Koga:
Takashi Koga is the president of Koga Translations. Koga is native in both Japanese and English, having been raised evenly in Japan and the U.S. After 5 years of hands-on experience in technical translation and software/website localization at a major software localization company, he became independent as a freelance translator/localization specialist offering his services to a wide range of software companies.

In addition to standard technical translation of manuals, help systems, technical presentations and brochures, he has hands-on experience with many development tools including: RoboHelp, MS Visual Studio, InstallShield(version3.x and 5.x) and Delphi. He has many years of experience localizing UI strings in these environment.

Through years of experience, he has become aware of the various marketing and QA issues that are introduced when cultural differences between the source and target languages are overlooked. You can rest assured that the clarity of the instructions in your user's guide or the impact of your presentation will be maintained in his translation work.

He is Microsoft certified (MOUS Expert) in MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Outlook in both Japanese and English versions. This means that all of the formatting, line breaks, page breaks, hyperlink destinations, field codes, and other advanced features in your Office documents will remain intact in his final translated version.
