Japanese Interpreter

Japanese Interpreters are confident communicators who interpret Japanese speech and dialogue into English and other languages (and vice-versa). They work for a wide range of organisations interpreting conversations, formal speeches, work instructions, conference presentations, movie and gaming dialogue, court proceedings, and official statements.

As a Japanese Language Interpreter you could be interpreting the work instructions of a Japanese engineer, interpreting Japanese speakers who are participating in a teleconference, assisting legal professionals during an arbitration hearing, acting as an interpreter during an onsite safety induction for international visitors, interpreting the dialogue of a Japanese film, adding a phrase to your personal glossary of Japanese words and terminology, or visiting Japan to keep your skills fresh and up-to-date.

While the focus of Japanese Interpreters is verbal interactions, you may also be required to translate documents and texts from Japanese into other languages (and vice-versa).
