Japanese>English translation.
Only trust a native speaker to turn your source text into their native language! There are always traps when translating, a boxer fighting in a ring may turn in to a fighter jet in your target language, or a funny bugger (time waster) may turn in to a gay clown and spark an international incident with the prime minster of Japan (this actually happened)! Don't risk hiring a cheap translator who is not native in English and who may make serious mistakes that could affect how your audience sees your translated documents, and thus reflects back on you as a person or business!

Rates vary based on subject matter and accuracy.
Draft translation with basic editing and proofing:
Simple material = $0.12 USD/word /$0.05 USD/character

Other tasks per hour: $16.60USD ($15 USD + 10% conyac cut)

Please note that rates per word are usually cheaper than rates per hour.

I have over 10 years total experience in translation, and 8 years in the T&I business.
I have worked as an interpreter on industrial sites for Mitsubishi and Toshiba in Australia and as a translation specialist and database engineer in a well known Tokyo game company. Your project is safe with me!

I'm usually online from 11AM to 11PM Monday to Friday JST, and in the afternoons and evenings on weekends for urgent projects.
