Japanese to English Business Translations and More

About Carmical Translations

I am a freelance translator located in the United States (EST), providing professional, high-quality Japanese to English translations as well as proofreading and copywriting services. My focus is on business translations. This includes websites, pamphlets, annual reports, press releases, and general correspondence.

In addition to business translations, I am capable of providing general IT-related translations. I have experience with various software, hardware, and web pages/web design. On that same topic, I also use the latest technology (computer-assisted translation or CAT) to ensure consistency in my translations. Note that this is completely different from machine translation. I will never use online data-harvesting tools such as Google Translate for any content, confidential or otherwise. Rest assured, your data is safe with me. My security procedures can be found here.

I lived in Japan for more than a decade, so I am very familiar with the culture. With over 17 years of experience translating, I can provide Japanese to English translations you can be sure are both accurate and natural-sounding. In fact, the reader will likely be unaware that they are reading a translation.

While in university I spent a year at International Christian University in Tokyo as an exchange student. I graduated from the University of Tennessee with a degree in Japanese and World Business.

I also have experience as a project manager at a web design/translation company. As such, I am very familiar with deadlines and the need for quality translations that are delivered in a timely manner. Read more about my background in the resume section.
