One translator, fifteen years in, working out of San Diego. I take Japanese technical documents and produce English that a technician, an inspector or a lawyer can work from without guessing.
My specialisms are marine equipment, machine tools and industrial machinery, fisheries and food safety documentation, and patent specifications. I price by the source character so you know the number before I start, and I do not mark up rush work unless it costs me a weekend.
Every client gets a termbase. It is yours, not mine. If you stop working with me I export it and hand it over, because holding your own vocabulary hostage is a shabby way to keep business.
I take small jobs. Twelve pages is a real job. So is one page of a defect report you need to understand today.
