Current Challenge

Correctly translated content from a grammatical point of view

Also correct from a technical perspective?

• The audience (e.g. engineers and partners) may not be able to “understand”

the content

Objective of Technical Review

Assess and improve the quality of the translated content from a

technical perspective

• Assign skilled/experienced staff who have technical/engineering backgrounds

• Check actual Japanese environment (upon request)

Not a simple “translation review” to check misspelling, inconsistency,

etc.
