Japanese interpretation services
Japanese with keigo that matches the room.
Japanese at a glance
Japanese uses three scripts (Hiragana, Katakana, Kanji) and a highly nuanced honorific system. Our interpreters are trained in both business and clinical register.
Japanese conversation is governed by keigo. That layered honorific system signals respect and hierarchy in every exchange, so our interpreters adjust politeness levels in real time — essential in business and clinical settings alike.
Japanese has around 125 million speakers, primarily in Japan. We cover the varieties listed here and can match a linguist to a specific region or community on request.
