Kawamura’s Life Sciences Translation Services
Dedicated team
Kawamura has a team dedicated to life sciences translations. Our experienced translators and reviewers work with members who have a pharmaceutical background, which allows us to provide reliable and professional translation services. We are also ISO-certified for translation in the medical field (ISO17100), and use an established quality assurance method compliant with that standard in the handling of projects.
Technology-driven approach
Kawamura leads translation in Japan through our incorporation of the latest technologies into our translation process. From common computer-assisted translation (CAT) tools to our inhouse engineers who have localization expertise, our technology-driven approach allows us to efficiently offer quality translation services. Whether we’re approaching long-standing translation quality issues or improving turnaround time, we’re able to propose the best solutions for your translation projects.
We’re also experts in machine translation that utilizes post-editing services, and we’re able to provide different levels of service according to your requests. If you prefer to take care of the work yourself, we offer machine translation subscription services, as well. Our services were designed with business use in mind, providing a secure environment where companies can feel at ease in handling their confidential data with machine translation.
Global network covering all languages
Kawamura has a global network that is built on years of experience and trust. With a basic framework, that has our subsidiary in Hong Kong handling Asian languages and our group company in Germany handling European languages, we’re able to offer a robust quality assurance system that is organization-wide. This is what sets us apart from other agencies that only work with sole proprietors and freelancers on a project-by-project basis.
Information security
Kawamura has been ISO27001-certified since 2012, implementing an Information Security Management System (ISMS) that is compliant with the requirements of that standard. We believe that nothing can be done without secure data management. In addition, we’re happy to fulfill any other requirements, such as the signing of NDAs, that you deem necessary to work with us.
