Japanese Translation Services
Japanese is the sixth most spoken language in the world: the population of Japan is about 120 million. But Japanese is not spoken outside Japan in any particular country or community except where there are concentrated Japanese-speaking communities such as in San Francisco, working there especially in software development, and in the film production industry in and around Hollywood. Also Japanese speakers occur in small pockets in the UK and across the globe mainly centred in and around Japanese car plants.
Given the different character set and unique pronunciation, the marketing of imported media assets domestically in Japan requires translation and often re-working. Likewise Japanese-sourced media assets have to be developed often in two versions, one for the domestic market and the other for export. The Japanese media sector has led the market: think Nintendo for software games. Japan has tended to concentrate on the hardware aspects and innovation by Japanese manufacturers is legend: Sony, Hitachi, Toshiba, NEC, and Mitsubishi. Through Sony, Japan has become one of the world’s leading movie-makers.

Modern media is largely responsible for the disappearance of local spoken dialects after the second world war, as national television services made the language of Tokyo standard throughout the country.
