Japanese Translation Service
English to Japanese • Japanese to English
Spoken by over 120 million people, Japanese ranks among the top ten most common languages in the world. Although written Japanese has incorporated Chinese pictographic characters since the 3rd century AD, it is not linguistically related to Chinese as commonly thought. In fact, unlike most languages which are part of a family of similar tongues, Japanese has no definite links to any other language.
The uniqueness of Japanese makes it one of the most difficult languages for translation. Vocabulary, grammar, the writing system, cultural nuances and even the way information is presented are at odds with English.
As if the spoken language wasn’t complicated enough, Japanese is written with a combination of three scripts: Chinese characters (called “kanji”) and two syllabic scripts. Furthermore, business names, logos and advertising are often written using the Latin alphabet, and Arabic numerals are generally used for numbers.
With all of these linguistic variances, translators must take great care to ensure an accurate end result. At Blue South we use only expert Japanese translators based in location to achieve the best possible service for our clients.
Did you know? Japanese students are required to learn 10,000 – 15,000 “kanji” characters through rote memorization; there are no mnemonic devices to help.
