Japanese to English Translator
Bridging Canada and Japan for your official and technical documents.
Technical Specifics of Japanese
Why human expertise is non-négociable.
| Feature | Context | Expertise |
|---|---|---|
| The 3 Scripts (Kanji, Hiragana, Katakana) | Used simultaneously. Mixing them incorrectly looks unprofessional. | Native linguists ensure perfect orthographic balance. |
| Keigo (Honorifics) | Complex hierarchy (Sonkeigo, Kenjougo). Wrong level can insult a partner. | We adapt formality precisely to the B2B context. |
| Names & Koseki Tohon | Kanji names have multiple readings. Errors invalidate IRCC files. | Strict verification of name readings for immigration. |

Japanese translation moves through three distinct scripts—Kanji, Hiragana, Katakana—and is governed by Keigo (honorifics). A minor tonal error in a contract can lead to a loss of face.
Asiatis provides certified translations signed by a certified translator who is a member of a provincial association: mainly ATIO (Ontario), STIBC (British Columbia) and OTTIAQ (Quebec). Our certified translations of your documents (Koseki Tohon, diplomas) are prepared in line with the published requirements of IRCC and the Canadian courts; the decision on each file remains theirs.
Japan translation specialists for over 25 years, Asiatis masters three writing systems (Kanji, Hiragana, Katakana) and Keigo politeness levels (Sonkeigo, Kenjougo, Teineigo). Our native translators understand JIS standards, Koseki Tohon intricacies, and Japanese business protocols — essential expertise for the world's third-largest economy.

Can you handle technical manuals?
Yes. We use translators with engineering backgrounds for precise terminology.
