Speaking to customers in a language they can understand isn’t enough
In the tech industry, messages need to be laser-focused. Speaking to customers in a language they can understand isn’t enough. You need to speak in one that they relate to. What sparks joy in a Japanese customer might get a Brit’s goat, or grind an American’s gears.
Feel confident knowing that your translation will be written with your audience’s needs in mind.
The right words for the
right scenario
Our world is changing. Our words need to keep up. Having translated and edited marketing texts for a number of clients across the tech sector, I know just how important it is to pin down exactly the right words for exactly the right scenario – whether it’s subtitles on a cutting-edge product demo, or interactive VR text to guide the user through a magical world.
Quality and consistency are key to delivering an effective message, and that’s why all my work undergoes rigorous QA testing to ensure the highest quality standards.
And as an Associate member of the ITI, the only UK-based independent professional membership association for practising translators, with an MA in Applied Translation Studies and over 4 years of translation industry experience, I guarantee that your marketing or UI translation is in capable hands.

Why not just use AI solutions?
Machine translation (MT) technology is rapidly improving, but accurate Japanese-to-English translations still require human input.
Japan has a high-context culture, and this is reflected in its language. In practice, this means that English sentences need to include more details than Japanese ones in order to make sense and read well. Part of my job as a translator is to “fill in the gaps” and create something that reads naturally in English.
An MT engine will provide a direct, literal translation. This might be the best solution for certain kinds of texts where a 1:1 representation of the original is key, but not for content where a nuanced understanding of the culture and language is required to connect with the target audience.
AI writing engines are also known to “hallucinate”, meaning that when they lack information, they input their best guess. Professional translators use our research skills to come up with the best solution – or we just ask! That way, you can be sure that the translation says exactly what you want it to say.

Don’t just take my word for it…
Luke has always meant quality and assurance in our jobs from Japanese and French, and I carry on recommending him to my team.
Ricardo Gouveia, Project Lead at ALM Translations
I was Luke’s supervisor during his time at the European Parliament. Luke consistently produced high-quality, idiomatic English edits that were faithful to the original. He built excellent relationships with our clients, turned around editing jobs quickly and was brilliant to work with. I can’t recommend him or his work highly enough!
