Professional quality: Competent English to Japanese services have highly vetted professional translators. In fact, many services have translators who specialize in different industries. This ensures you can get a translator that is perfect for your job or niche requirement.

Secure and confidential: Reputable and professional translation services understand that you may want the highest levels of confidentiality when sending over documents. These might be sensitive business documents where you don't want competitors getting their hands on them

Accessibility and convenience: You can access Japanese document translation services anywhere in the world with an internet connection. This is much more accessible and convenient than using services where you need to visit a physical location.

Speed and efficiency: Choose a large translation service for lightning-fast turnaround times. Typically, you can get accurate translations of short texts and single-page documents within 24 hours.

24/7 availability: You can order your Japanese translation project at any time of the day or night. You can also ask about the details of the service and whether they can match your project requirements. This is ideal for those who are working in different time zones.

Scalability: Do you have a need to translate a large volume of text that increases over time? Certified translation companies have the bandwidth to fit your needs. Let them know the scope of your project so they can allocate enough Japanese and English speakers to the job.

Can I Use Freelance Japanese Translators Instead of Translation Agencies?

Let’s say you have a less important document to translate. Or you want to shop around to see how freelancers fair versus a company. In that case, you could try a site like Upwork to find freelance Japanese translators, and most of them do a great job. 

However, there are a few drawbacks to consider when compared with agencies for document translation. Here are the top ones to help set the right expectations:

Slower processing speeds: Individual freelancers can’t complete the same volume of work as a Japanese-to-English translation agency. Therefore, expect slower turnaround times when using freelance Japanese or English translators.
Extra research: Expect to take additional time researching freelancers compared to agencies. That’s because you’ll need to find someone with the expertise of your specific job. In comparison, professional services have a large team of people with expertise in different areas. 
Varying schedules: The deadline you want for the translation job may not align with the freelancer's schedule. They may have a large backlog of orders or have pre-planned time off.

Can Google Translate English to Japanese?

Yes, you can use Google Translate for English to Japanese or Japanese to English translations. This is a viable choice for small and casual translation jobs. The option is accessible, offers fast processing speeds, and is free. However, there are significant drawbacks:

Limited interpretation accuracy and reliability: Google Translate doesn't always accurately translate the text or only does a partial translation. Additionally, this tool cannot detect culture or localization nuances in language. This means it’s not a viable option when accurate transitions are the most critical factor.
Doesn’t support large documents: You can’t submit large documents to Google Translate. The tool works best for translating a few sentences or a paragraph at most. So if your work order is larger than that, you may not be the target audience for this tool.

What About Using Paid AI Tools to Translate English to Japanese?

If you want something better than Google Translate but don’t want to outsource to a company or freelancer, you can try to translate English to Japanese (or vice versa) using Paid AI Tools. Here’s how this option stacks up versus your other options for English-to-Japanese translation services:

Document upload functionality: Expect most paid tools to provide a document upload option where you can submit large documents. This is an advantage over Google Translate, which doesn't offer the same feature. 
Price point: Most paid tools will save you money compared to companies that use real, human native speakers. Automated tools generally require less money to run.
Speed: As technology improves, machine translations can offer near-instant results. You can expect massive documents to be translated in just a few moments. 
Lack of accuracy and reliability: Have you ever put something into ChatGPT and gotten a bad result? The same principle applies here. Don’t expect 100% accurate certified translations. They may lack accuracy, cultural nuance, and localization.

What Documents Do Professional Japanese Translation Agencies Accept?

Translators who are English and Japanese speakers can process the following documents:

Legal documents: Translated legal documents must be highly accurate and use the correct technical jargon. They may even require notarization or signed certification. Some government agencies require this to attest to the document’s validity and accuracy. Furthermore, legal translations must be highly accurate and use technical words correctly.
Birth, marriage, and death certificates: Whether you’re immigrating or traveling, you may need to translate marriage, death, and birth certificates to verify your identity abroad. Translation agencies can accept these documents for translation and ensure high levels of accuracy.
Contracts Do you need to translate a contract as part of a business deal or when buying real estate abroad? Then, you need to hire services that offer technical translations. This ensures they can understand the industry-specific words in a contract in the proper context. 
Medical translations: When using a doctor overseas, you may need medical translations. For your health and safety, it is vital to choose translation agencies with experience for these translation jobs. 
Financial documents: You can find services to translate financial records, which you may need for personal or business use. Ensure you find a reliable Japanese or English translator that you can use continuously.
Academic documents: Studying abroad can be stressful enough as it is. Any documents you may need for a student visa may be submitted to a professional Japanese translator. This includes academic transcripts, certificates, and diplomas.

Here are the five factors to consider when choosing the best Japanese translation services for your needs.

1 Affordable Pricing

You can save a lot of money when you find a competitively-priced translation agency. This is especially true when you translate a large volume of documents. 

Before choosing a service, make sure that you understand the pricing structure. Some services may charge per word, while others have different payment structures.

2 Accuracy and Quality

Focusing on quality and accuracy is paramount for serious translation projects. This ensures that government agencies and other parties will accept your translated documents.

3 Fast Delivery

When you have a tight deadline for a project, you’ll want the services of a time-efficient agency. Typically, you can find turnaround time expectations on the translation agency's official website. 

Fast delivery speeds are particularly vital when working with urgent deadlines. Examples include submitting immigration documents or finalizing a business deal. 

Rapid Translate has the fastest turnaround times, offering delivery within 24 hours. 

4 Verifiable Reputation

Always check a service's online reputation to spot red flags. This will eliminate poorly reviewed, low-quality options, which can save you time and money since you won't have to interact with bad companies. 

For example, customers gave Rapid Translate an overall review score of 4.7 out of 5 on TrustPilot. This is one of the best scores among translation companies.

5 Excellent Customer Support

You’ll want access to fantastic customer support in the language you speak. This ensures you can communicate with support in your native language and receive better service. Support should also have multiple communication channels, including email, phone, and live chat.
