Japanese translation is an extraordinarily difficult task to do well. The reason is that the strong cultural and hierarchical differences impose a need to grasp a concept well in English and then find a suitable parallel in Japanese. This goes beyond ‘translation’ and into ‘transcreation’. Lichi in Israel has the expertise to do good Japanese translation.
The Japanese language reflects the hierarchical structure inherent in Japanese society. Social respect is also crucial: saying a sentence to a friend will be significantly different from how the exact sentence will be said in a business meeting or to a person we have just met. Only somebody who understands Japanese mentality and tradition well will be equipped to undertake successful Japanese translations.
