Translation Coordination Nadezhda

My work at Akagane

I support clients with international operations to translate their printed and digital materials (catalogues, instruction manuals, publicity materials, websites, internal documents, labels, etc.). Though there are occasions when I do the translation myself, I mainly take care of arranging work for translators. Apart from Japanese and English, the languages we handle include European languages (there are times when I coordinate for the 26 official languages of the European Union at once!), Spanish and Portuguese for South America, and so on. It really varies. Although it is difficult creating a smooth workflow with accurate translations, being in such a huge “melting pot of languages,” I feel that this is the kind of work that can rarely be experienced somewhere else.

Job satisfaction

In the first place, as a self-professed “language nerd,” being able to experience various languages on a daily basis gives me utmost pleasure. In addition, I have a chance to learn about technology, which I was not familiar with before joining Akagane, and I feel even more excited whenever I make a new discovery. Above all, I am very proud of our amazing teamwork. I am really encouraged each time I can complete a project with the support of the people around me.
