Translating Japan

Welcome to Translating Japan's Official Website

Who is Translating Japan?

My name is Steve Wallace and I am the Founder of Translating Japan. For some people, exercising is relaxing and they enjoy every second of doing it, to others that sort thing is working on their car, or reading a good book. But to me, studying Japanese, doing translations or interpretations is the thing that can really turn a bad day into a good one. I'm very passionate about Japan, the culture and the language. And we all know that people who do what they love excel at it. I give it my very best on every translation, big or small, because I know how important some of these projects can be and a sloppy translation can cause a lot of problems for everyone that's involved. Plus, I really do enjoy working with the Japanese language and have fun turning one language into another and keeping the meaning of the words as well as possible. I have had little formal education in Japanese, I only finished up to Japanese 202 in college, but I lived in Japan for 2 years from 2003-2005. During that time I was a Christian missionary, so it was my job during that time to talk to people in Japanese all day long. Through that experience, I believe that I am able get away from the textbook translations that a lot of translators give and I am able to give a more colloquial and clear translation. Thank you very much for visiting my website and I hope you will be able to you my skills to help further your goals.
