Emerging Trends in Japanese Translation Services
As the world’s third-largest economy, Japan relies heavily on commercial import/export, creating a high demand for English-Japanese translation services. Compared to its national GDP, Japan requires more translation services than any other country to support international trade.
Similar to businesses in Germany, Japanese companies take pride in building global brands and manufacturing high-quality products worldwide. This has led to a growing need for translation solutions that offer improved linguistic quality, speed, and scalability.

The Growing Japanese Translation Market
English to Japanese translation consistently ranks among the highest in the localization industry. Japan’s vibrant import/export economy over the last 50 years has driven significant demand for language translation, including English-Japanese, German-Japanese, and Chinese-Japanese.
With the world’s third-largest automotive industry and the largest electronics manufacturing sector, Japan has become a global leader in precision instruments, high-tech manufacturing, hybrid vehicles, and robotics. These industries rely heavily on global supply chains, creating a need for translation services across all sectors.
International marketing and sales efforts further contribute to the demand, with Japanese translation accounting for a significant portion of global localization spend. Industry studies estimate that the annual Japanese translation spend is around $3.5 billion and continues to grow rapidly.
Major companies like Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Panasonic, Sony, and Mitsubishi lead the way in language translation investments. However, Japanese translation is often more expensive than other European and Asian languages due to higher labor costs and slower translation speeds
Why Are Japanese Translation Reviews More Complex?
Japanese translation reviews often require more changes than other languages due to several unique factors. Unlike Latin alphabet-based languages, Japanese, along with Chinese and Korean, uses a character-based system with distinct grammar and sentence structures. This means English sentences can be translated into Japanese in various ways.
Additionally, some English words don’t have direct equivalents in Japanese, complicating verbatim translations. Translation choices can also be subjective, as different words or expressions can convey similar meanings.
These challenges make Japanese translations more difficult than those of European languages. However, with proactive terminology management and the use of J2450 quality metrics, we ensure optimal Japanese language translation performance.
Can We Translate into Chinese First and Then Convert to Japanese?
No, this approach won’t work. While Japanese and Chinese share common Chinese characters in their writing systems, they are, in fact, distinct languages. The modern Japanese writing system combines kanji (Chinese characters) with 96 basic syllable characters, which include hiragana (for native words) and katakana (for borrowed words, loanwords, and scientific terms). Moreover, Japanese has a unique pronunciation and grammar system that differs greatly from Chinese. As a result, converting Chinese text to Japanese automatically is not feasible without undergoing a complete translation process.
What Is Japanese MTPE?
Machine Translation (MT) powered by AI and advanced algorithms can now provide high-quality translations between English and Japanese. MT is fast, scalable, and cost-effective, making it an attractive solution for businesses.
However, MT alone isn’t enough for translating customer-facing content. This is where MTPE (Machine Translation Post-Editing) comes in. First, MT translates the text into Japanese, and then professional Japanese translation services & linguists proofread and edit the results for improved quality.
Japanese MTPE is quickly becoming a mainstream translation solution for many businesses.
