Information & Communications Company | English → Japanese

82 hours of video · 750,000 words · 40% faster than standard turnaround

Challenge: The client needed frame-accurate, terminology-consistent localization across a massive volume of technical video and documentation, with quality as the top priority, ahead of turnaround time and cost.

Solution: Kawamura International used online project management tools to enable multiple translators to work simultaneously while maintaining consistent terminology and tone, delivering high-quality results within a tight deadline.

"When we decided to localize this content, we understood the conditions were quite strict, so we consulted with Kawamura International first. They not only completed the work on time but brought it to a higher standard than we requested. We were also grateful the cost came in lower than expected."

Education Services Company | Japanese → English

57% cost reduction vs. human translation, with no quality complaints from learners

Challenge: A large volume of lecture videos needed translation within a limited budget, without sacrificing the quality learners depend on.

Solution: Since human translation would exceed the budget, Kawamura International proposed machine translation with human post-editing (MTPE) for the lecture videos, and ran a test translation up front so the client could verify quality before committing to the full project.

"Given our tight budget, we approached Kawamura International without high expectations, and we were doubtful about using machine translation. After seeing the test translation, we felt confident it could maintain a certain level of quality, so we moved forward. We've received no complaints from our learners and are extremely satisfied with the outcome."

IT Company | English → Japanese

On-time delivery without compromising quality, even with late-arriving source materials

Challenge: Event videos needed Japanese subtitles, but source materials from headquarters often arrived just before the deadline, forcing a tradeoff between speed and quality.

Solution: Kawamura International assigned multiple IT-specialized translators and used a shared online server to unify terminology and expressions in real time, reducing rework and inconsistency in later stages.

"Videos from our headquarters often arrived just before the deadline, so we used to have to compromise between meeting the deadline and maintaining quality. Since working with Kawamura International, both have been met, which has been a huge help. We hope to continue working together."
