ABOUT
Translation Overview
We specialize in medicine and pharmacy, providing highly specialized translations. We strive to maintain quality by providing our translators with regular feedback and the latest medical information.
If you request an English native speaker check for Japanese-to-English translations, we will deliver the final product after it has been revised by a native speaker with extensive specialized knowledge.
We cater to your specific needs, including partial translations (such as comparing old and new versions), combinations of translation and English revision, and requests for specific terminology.
For English-to-Japanese / Japanese-to-English translations, we can provide ISO 17100 compliance (additional fee).
We strictly maintain the confidentiality of your manuscript content (we can provide a non-disclosure agreement if necessary).
In addition to translation between English and Japanese, we also accept translation requests from / to languages other than English*.
By combining our translation service with other services by IMIC, such as document supply, we can provide a one-stop solution through to the delivery of your translated materials.
