PROFESSIONAL JAPANESE TRANSLATION FOR THE JAPANESE MARKET

When it comes to English to Japanese translation and Japanese into English translate, as with other languages, it is not a word-for-word replacement, nor does it mean that by simply knowing Japanese, one will be an excellent Japanese translator. There are several challenges associated with Japanese translation that need to tackle.

In written form, the Japanese use three sets of characters: Katakana, Hiragana, and Kanji. The most complex one has to be Kanji.

Kanji is derived from Chinese script but has since developed in a very different direction, especially in terms of what it means in the Japanese language. Kanji can be very complex. More than often, there is no equivalent English word that can somehow convey the true meaning of a word in Kanji.

As such, to directly translate Japanese to English or English to Japanese translation is always not possible. Only those with more experience and a good understanding of the Japanese language can translate it appropriately without losing its original meaning.

Japanese is a language that cannot be taken at "face value." What's read is not necessarily what it means. Literal translation or translating it at "face value" will not help convey the actual meaning of the sentence in Japanese. It may help to prioritize capturing the context and content rather than its form in Japanese.

As with most Asian languages, the grammatical structure in the Japanese language is vastly different from that of the western one. Here are some grammatical differences:

  • There are no definite and indefinite articles
  • No plurals
  • Verbs appear at the end of a sentence
  • There is no future tense
  • Not all sentences require subject

Japanese sentence structure, word order, grammatical rules, etc., generally differ from English and other western languages.

Hence, we must understand that we may look at a significant "face-lift." Other important things to consider include cultural and regional idiosyncrasies, politeness, and respect, which are essential in the Japanese language and communication exchange.

Yes. There are many more things to consider than just getting someone who knows Japanese for the translation job.

ABOUT THE JAPANESE LANGUAGE AND JAPAN

With a population of almost 126 million as of August 2022, Japan is ranked 11th in the world in terms of population. Japanese or Nihongo is the national language of Japan.

Along with Kanji, the Japanese writing system primarily uses two syllabic (or moraic) scripts, hiragana (ひらがな or 平仮名) and katakana (カタカナ or 片仮名).

Looking at the Japanese writing system, which consists of three different sets, can be very daunting to any beginners:

  • Kanji consists of several thousand Chinese characters
  • Hiragana consists of 46 characters
  • Katakana consists of 46 characters

Japanese can also prove to be a challenge due to the average pace at which it is spoken, even though the pronunciation system of the language is much less complex than many other European languages.

Japan is the third largest economy in the world after the United States, and China, in terms of nominal GDP, ranks the fourth largest national economy in the world after the United States, China, and India in purchasing power parity. Japan's global influence is hard to miss.

Chances are that a quick survey with anyone will present Japanese as one of the world's most functional and sought-after languages.

Communicating effectively in Japanese opens your doors to its extensive literature, films, music, and more—this broadens your horizons and allows you to integrate seamlessly into the Japanese way of life.

As one of the key languages used for Business, Technology, Culture, and Entertainment, Japanese plays a vital role in allowing businesses to gain exclusive access to the Japanese market.

In addition, Japanese has also made its mark with its digital footprint by being one of the most widely used internet languages.

From this exciting fact, you can tell that the online usage of this language is very high. With the proliferation of Japanese culture worldwide, the demand for English to Japanese translation services is also seeing significant growth.
