Roles and Responsibilities  

Project Management:

Translation: 

Translate internal and external documents from English to Japanese.  Review Japanese assets to make sure that the language, grammar, tone of voice etc. are according to client’s requirements.  Most of the documents you will be working on are confidential, which means you will not be able to rely on AI translation for most of your work.  Many requests for translation come from other Keywords Studios, many of whom are based in the UK.
