What did they need?
To successfully expand into the Japanese market,  S.R. Solutions required professional translations for their product descriptions and marketing content. They needed these translations to not only be linguistically accurate but also culturally relevant to resonate with Japanese customers.
This meant adapting the tone, style, and messaging of their content to align with local preferences and expectations, ensuring the brand’s values and appeal were preserved while attracting a new audience.

The challenges

Expanding into the Japanese market was an exciting but complex challenge for our team at Tomedes. Below are some of the challenges that we encountered:

Firstly, the client’s products required detailed descriptions that highlighted both technical features and emotional appeal. Translating such nuanced content without losing the essence of the brand presented a significant challenge.

Secondly, Japanese consumers prioritize politeness, subtlety, and detailed information in marketing materials. The challenge was to adapt the content to reflect these preferences while ensuring the message remained impactful and engaging.

Thirdly, with the client’s market launch scheduled within six weeks, there was a pressing need for a fast yet accurate translation process to ensure readiness for their product unveiling.

The solution

The Tomedes team tackled the challenges with a solution blending linguistic expertise, cultural sensitivity, and advanced technology. Here’s how we approached the project:

Firstly, Tomedes assigned a team of professional linguists with expertise in e-commerce and marketing. Using the client’s product catalog as a foundation, the translators developed a glossary of industry-specific terms and phrases to maintain consistency throughout the project.

Secondly, to resonate with the Japanese market, we incorporated cultural preferences into the translations. For instance, we adjusted phrasing to emphasize product quality and reliability, values held in high regard by Japanese consumers. Our linguists also ensured that the tone reflected politeness and professionalism.

Thirdly, by leveraging advanced translation tools, such as translation memory and glossaries, we streamlined the process, reducing time spent on repetitive content while ensuring consistency. However, the final edits were meticulously completed by human experts to capture the nuances of the language and cultural context.

Tomedes developed free AI translation tools to address challenges identified through years of experience, streamlining pre-translation and post-translation processes for greater efficiency and accuracy.

In the pre-translation phase, we used our Pre-Translation Toolkit to automate key tasks like language identification, topic analysis, terminology extraction, and complexity assessment. This gave translators a solid foundation, reducing errors and optimizing workflows.

For post-translation, we utilized the Translation Quality Assurance Tool to evaluate fluency, accuracy, terminology, style, and grammar. Additional AI tools handled glossary management, translation memory updates, and final quality checks, ensuring consistency and precision.

The result

Tomedes delivered the translated product descriptions and marketing materials within the 3-day deadline, enabling S.R. Solutions to launch on time. The client commended us for our professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail, noting the translations’ accuracy and cultural relevance effectively preserved their brand identity.

The translated and localized content resonated with Japanese consumers, driving increased engagement and sales. Star Solutions saw a significant boost in traffic and successfully established a strong foothold in the competitive Japanese market.

Conclusion

Expanding into a new market requires more than just translation; it demands a deep understanding of the target audience’s culture and preferences.
