Frequently Asked Questions
-
Translation involves changing text from one language to another.
Localization is the process of modifying texts and visuals for an audience in a different country or culture.
Localization is more complex than translation because it involves in-depth knowledge of the target country and culture in order to adapt material so that the meaning is kept and the message achieves the desired impact.
-
Automated translation and A.I. aims to directly and properly translate text. The grammar is aligned to the target language, but the meaning is aligned to the original language.
Our native English team members understand your intended message and brand, and our professional Japanese experts understand the target. Our localization conveys the intended meaning to the Japanese target so that it has the desired impact on them.
