Our Mission
To ensure the most up-to- date and modern use of language in meeting the needs of our clients while taking into account the traditional use of language. We are thoroughly attentive to culture and the communication needs of the consumers, and, SwitchT provides three levels of service:
Level 1: Translation
To provide translation from Japanese into English – or vice versa – while preserving the original meaning. We endeavor to convey accurately the thought and words of the person who composed the writing. The translation process will be best suited to the client’s needs. We offer assistance ranging from one page emails to the translation of large volume documents.
Level 2: Transcreation & Adaptation
Transcreation & Adaptations is a service that converts original catch phrases, product names and store names according to the market needs. Based on a clear understanding of the corporate culture of our clients and the consumers of their products and services, to create expressions appropriate to these consumers, using words and phrases which they understand and use. In short, to provide translations which are multicultural as well as bilingual, and which use the most modern expressions; words which are inspiring and full of empathy.
*This is different to the Translation service. The costs and delivery times are also different from the Translation service.
