Hello! My name is Joji. I am new at ProZ.com. I have been working in the translation industry for many years. I have joined ProZ.com to increase my opportunities to work with foreign companies (translation and other companies). My mother tongue is Japanese.

Over 20 years of translation experience in English, German, French, Spanish

Over 10 years of translation experience in Chinese (Simplified/Traditional)

*These days, English and German account for the majority of my translation work.

I have a wealth of work experience with translation companies specializing in medical translation, and familiarity with various documents at all stages: research and development; clinical trials; manufacturing; marketing; and post-marketing surveillance and case reports.

Specialize in: Medicine, Medical Devices, Pharmaceuticals, Biology, Genetics, Agriculture, Foods, Chemistry

I specialize not only in pharmaceuticals, but also in medical equipment/devices/instruments (for measurement, testing, analysis, diagnosis, and surgery), which often require advanced knowledge of chemistry, physics, mathematics, and IT. Recently, I have been working more on medical device translations than pharmaceutical translations, also covering the latest topics such as AI-powered image diagnosis.

Besides the medical field, I have solid experience and knowledge in a wide range of scientific and technical fields.

Also work in: Engineering, Automobiles, Machinery, Optics, Electricity, Semiconductors, Electronics, Computers, Telecommunications, Information Technology (IT), Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning/Deep Learning, Energy (including nuclear power and renewable energy), Resources, Materials, Environment

I can take on patent translations in the above-mentioned or similar fields. I have been working with patent firms for many years. I regularly handle English>Japanese (occasionally Japanese>English), German>Japanese, and Chinese>Japanese patent translations. The most frequently requested fields are (1) automobiles/machinery, (2) telecommunications/IT, and (3) pharmaceuticals/chemistry. I place great importance on patent translation and welcome such offers.

Within engineering, automobiles are the most familiar to me. The automotive industry is undergoing a period of great change, and I have comprehensive knowledge of both traditional and new technologies (electric vehicle batteries, autonomous driving, connected technology, etc.).

As the latest trend, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning, which are attracting attention around the world, have also become prominent in my translation work. I am able to provide reliable translations in this cutting-edge field, backed by a deep understanding of mathematics, statistics, and computer science.

Overall, whether it is patent translation or other technical translation, I frequently handle complex projects that span multiple fields. As a result, I am very accustomed to such projects. The number of complex projects is increasing as IT and AI spread into various fields, including medicine and automobiles. This is a remarkable trend in recent years.

Although not frequently, I have the flexibility to handle other fields such as laws, contracts, certificates, and other legal documents.

Master's degree in linguistics, covering the Germanic and Romance languages, with an educational background in mathematics and physics at the university level
