Website Translation
We will support the smooth multilingualization of your website.
In recent years, many companies have been building and updating their own websites using a CMS such as WordPress. Still, there are many companies that have only Japanese pages, or have pages in foreign languages, but have not been able to update them very much.
Websites play a very important role not only as corporate PR and sales contact points, but also as a means of disclosing information to foreign investors for listed companies. AIBS’s website translation service helps customers to smoothly and effortlessly convert their websites into multiple languages.

Features of AIBS’s Website Translation Service
We will make translations that resonate with native speakers.
Website translation cannot fulfill its role by simply replacing words. It is important to create text that “resonates” with the reader based on the culture behind and trends in the target language.
At AIBS, translations are basically done by native translators of the target language and checked by native checkers of the source language to ensure that the intent of the source text is accurately captured and the translation is natural.
We do not burden our customers.
If you provide us with the html or php file, we will deliver the translation in its original form. There is no need for you to extract the text to be translated or copy-paste the translated text into the html or php file. We can also edit text in images and translate subtitles for embedded videos. If you have a WordPress website, we can also support you in publishing your website in a foreign language.
We can also undertake the renewal of your Japanese website.
Website production & translation “WebTra”
WebTra is a collaborative service between AIBS and Fabric Arts, a website creation company. Combining each company’s strengths in website creation and multilingual translation know-how, we offer a full range of services from Japanese website creation to multilingual translation.
We support the success of your global business by listening to your needs from the creation stage of your Japanese website.
If you just make English versions of some pages and are done with it,
you might miss out on business opportunities.
If you use an automatic translation service to translate all pages,
Strange translations in conspicuous places.
Layout of foreign language pages is broken.
In general, the cost and time required to translate a website into multiple languages increases in proportion to the number of pages and languages.
This problem causes the above cases. However, if automatic translation and professional translation are used together, multilingualization can be done in a timely and to-the-point manner while keeping costs down.
Recommended Website Multilingualization Methods (by Case)
Professional translation + post-editing
“Post-editing” is the process of making human corrections to an automated translation. This allows us to produce professional-quality translations while keeping translation costs down. By using professional translation for important pages such as the home page and product introduction pages and post-editing for pages such as case studies and News, you can create a high quality multilingual site while keeping costs down. We can recommend a recommended translation method for each page.
Professional translation, post-editing, and automatic translation
After completing the foreign language site using the method in recommended case #1, use automatic translation to update Newsand other information. This allows you to quickly provide information to users of the foreign language site. If necessary, you can switch from automatic translation to professional translation or post-editing.
Automatic translation (and post-editing)
If you would like to multilingualize your website with the highest priority on delivery times, all pages can be multilingualized at once with automatic translation. Post-editing can also be specified on a limited basis, for example, to correct headlines or layout errors only. In addition, you can request professional translation and post-editing of selected pages at a later date.
