Translation is more than words. It’s about getting the meaning right.
I’m Dera Arinze, an English–Japanese translator and localization specialist with 7 years of professional experience helping businesses communicate accurately and naturally across language and cultural boundaries.

I understand that a poorly translated document can affect more than readability. It can compromise technical accuracy, create misunderstandings, and weaken a company’s professional image. That’s why I approach every assignment with careful attention to context, terminology, cultural nuances, and the purpose behind the original message.

My areas of specialization include:

Website Translation & Localization
Tourism & Hospitality
Technical & Engineering
Pharmaceutical Translation
Legal Translation
My professional background also includes patent translation, technical documentation, automotive terminology, and commercial content, including automotive-related projects involving Toyota and Bosch.

My approach to every project:

I prioritize meaning, accuracy, consistency, and natural language over literal word-for-word translation. I use professional CAT tools such as SDL Trados Studio and Phrase to support terminology management, translation consistency, and quality control, while maintaining a human-led translation process.

Professional qualifications:

ATA Certification – American Translators Association
JLPT N1 – Japanese Language Proficiency Test
Japan Translation Association (JTA) Translation Examinations
Whether you need a website localized for a Japanese audience, specialized documentation translated, or business content that communicates naturally in English or Japanese, I bring the linguistic expertise and attention to detail your project deserves.
