Japanese is one of the world’s most commonly spoken languages. Its approximately 127 million native-speakers are found mainly in Japan, where Japanese is the official language, in the US, and South America.
Japanese is subdivided into countless dialects, of which the Tokyo dialect is considered High Japanese and is understood throughout Japan. Japanese also has a complex script with more than 50,000 characters composed from kanji and the syllabic scripts katakana and hiragana.
Many Japanese words have several meanings and only reveal their meaning in the respective sentence and character context. This circumstance comes into play in both personal as well as commercial, technical, scientific, and literary documents. Professional German-Japanese translations are therefore recommended.
Our qualified specialists understand the varying character meanings. They deliver you accurate and comprehensible translations in all subject areas. Japanese grammar also shows significant differences from German, which is why one of our translation agency’s specialists is essential for translating into Japanese.
Cultural characteristics in German-Japanese translation
In Japan, great attention is paid to politeness, etiquette, and good manners. With business contacts especially, this is often crucial for a successful exchange. To be persuasive as a reliable business partner, you need to strike the right tone. In doing so, you show that you’re respectful of cultural differences. For this purpose, you should call on the expert support of our translation agency for private correspondence and specialised texts of any kind, as well as commercial and official documentation. We offer a range of services.
In business, the correct etiquette is essential. In Japanese, a distinction must be made between the various nuances of familiarity. These need to be used correctly to avoid being impolite. Every translation from German into Japanese must therefore be kept neutral or adapted according to the situation in which the usual courtesies are to be applied.
