What's in a word?
Just as there are various words for 'car' in the vast automobile society of the US, there are dozens of words for snow in the language of the Inuit of the Arctic. In essence, language is intimately linked to the culture and living space from which it originates; for it is culture that forms the human way of thinking.
We believe that quality translation requires giving careful consideration to cultural context so that human thinking is accurately conveyed. Of course, a certain translation may be sufficient for conveying the source content; however, it may simply be a mechanical conversion of Japanese to English and English to Japanese.
At Tau Translation, our bedrock principle is to convey the thought behind the words in order to link language with language.
In the technical field, we are well versed in the IT, automotive, life science, medical, and pharmaceuticals sectors. We provide translations between Asian and Western languages, particularly Japanese and English, for any kind of document, from legal, HR, marketing, e-commerce, and travel/tourism to academic documents. Additionally, we happily accept even the smallest of projects, such as personal correspondence. Please feel free to contact us for more information.

We convey
the human way of thinking
through translation.
