Certified Partner (Creative/Promotional Translation): Hiroshi Kato

■ Outline President, Techno Pro Japan, Inc.

■ Details Hiroshi manages a translation company, which has been continuously receiving orders for translation work from both national and foreign-owned companies, including major IT corporations, for over 20 years. As his company provides translation with the highest-level quality in the industry, its adoption of freelance translators is kept minimal at 2-3%. Thus the number of affiliated translators is kept relatively small at around 80, with only the most-talented freelancers taking parts. Introducing the abilities of professional translators to Japanese people and companies who wish to expand their businesses abroad shall boost the probability of those business people to convey their true messages more attractively in the country and market they wish to expand. Hiroshi also aims to suggest the BEST form of words by having translators work together with GSJ experts, instead of simply delivering translations.
