Three reasons
why clients choose us
01. Multiple language translation consulting
By having databases of technical terms and translation content under a comprehensive management system, work can be completed quickly with simple progress management. With the knowledge we have accumulated from our experience and achievements in dealing with a variety of projects, we can provide solutions that are best-suited to our clients, including new formats and improvements in application management systems.
Knowledge about your target country's customs and expressions when you first attempt translation for foreign expansion is crucial--we offer precise advice and support you based on our wealth of such know-how. With our substantial network of overseas subsidiaries and affiliates, we support you through your business development as a reassuring partner.
Please consult us if you have any requests or inquiries. We offer total support through coordinated business.
02. Translation tool QA Distiller™
We apply proprietary and self-developed tools into the flow of translation work for shorter lead time and improved overall operating efficiency. QA Distiller™ is a tool that was developed by YEU (YAMAGATA EUROPE), a part of the YAMAGATA Group, to supplement human proofreading and reviewing for enhanced quality control. Its primary functions are to check for missing translation and garbled text and to ensure uniformity in formatting (colons, periods, parenthesis, quotation marks), translation consistency, conformity with the glossary, and correct numerical values. It is currently being used by a large number of translation companies.
03. “Translation Buddy,” the machine translation system and service
“Translation Buddy” is YAMAGATA's original machine translation system and service equipped with a neural machine translation engine. No software installation or setup is needed prior to use and it can be used in any location where there is Internet access. “Translation Buddy” will also help improve work efficiency because it is able to translate Microsoft Office files while preserving their original layout.
