Other considerations
  • Our translators are seasoned professionals with the appropriate source-language comprehension and the target-language writing skills of educated native speakers. We do not sub-contract our translations to students, idle homemakers, hobbyists, or other non-professionals.
  • Translations are reviewed by a second pair of eyes; higher-grade translations are rigorously rewritten for the target audience in a manner compatible with client requirements.
  • We provide Japanese clients with advice on standard, idiomatic English usage and formatting to ensure against embarrassment and misunderstanding due to poor or strange presentation.
  • JTS does not accept work outside its translators’ fields of competency. If we are unable to accommodate your needs, we will do our best to put you in touch with a reliable vendor who can.
