Jun 10, 2019 (posted via ProZ.com):  Translation of website content on mobile phone technology for a global brand, Japanese to English, 22,000 characters ...more, + 84 other entries »

I became a full-time freelance translator after gaining ten years of experience as a Japanese Studies research and communication expert. My PhD, a digital humanities project on the cultural economy of media in Japan, led me to specialize in academic and technical/IT translations.

This page describes my work in a little more detail, with links where possible and permitted.


General/technical translations (Japanese to English)/一般・IT翻訳（日英）

IT/tech materials: software manuals, FAQs, website texts, training and conference materials, news articles about technology

Academic translations (mainly Japanese to English)/学術翻訳（主に日英）

I've translated a wealth of academic materials: full-length articles mainly in the humanities and social sciences, conference programs, website texts for universities, news articles, and so on.
