Translation is the core business of AIBS. Since starting with Japanese-English translation of auto parts manuals, we have expanded our translation coverage by increasing the number of employees and strengthening cooperation with domestic and overseas freelancers. Today, we have more than 800 translators and checkers in total, both internal and external, who have translated more than 6,500 projects per year.
Strength in technologies
Our company started out in the design of automotive parts and industrial machinery, and has over 30 years of experience mainly in technical translation. We have a proven track record with major companies and government offices.
Translators stationed at our company
With more than 40 translators and proofreaders (including native English, Chinese, and Korean translators/proofreaders) on staff, we can quickly respond to requests for confirmation of subtle nuances and corrections after delivery.
Utilization of the latest technology
We strive to improve quality by introducing or developing in-house the latest equipment and tools, such as computer-assisted translation tools and proofreading tools, and by combining the best of both humans and IT.
