Japanese Interpreters & Voice-overs

Asian Absolute supplies the services of professional Japanese interpreters and voice-over artists with experience in a variety of areas. The fine points of spoken Japanese are intricate and subtle: similar to English, Japanese comprises differing dialects and ways of speaking according to locality and lifestyle, but also requires that language be appropriate to the speaker's age and gender. Asian Absolute offers interpreters who are sensitive to these aspects in both languages, and appreciate the need to consider both the speaker and the target audience in order to provide the most effective interpreting services.

The need for high calibre interpreters is particularly acute when bridging the gap between English and Japanese. Not only is Japanese script far removed from the roman alphabet, its syntax and sentence structures are profoundly different to English, thus posing a greater challenge than European languages in the production of natural and accurate interpreting. Expressing the correct degree of formality and observing cultural norms such as knowing when to bow or take one's shoes off are also fundamental to good Japanese. Japan, despite its hi-tech and fast paced image, has held onto traditional etiquette and ways of behaving in social situations. The impact of a good speaker comes through adoption of the correct signals, mannerisms and conduct. Few non-Japanese people are able to do this naturally, but Asian Absolute's native English speaking Japanese interpreters have the experience and know-how that enables them to blend in smoothly. Our native Japanese speaking interpreters are likewise skilled in the interpretation of all elements, verbal and non-verbal, needed to facilitate courteous and accurate communication across this cultural divide.
