Japanese Court Interpreters Services – Video Remote Interpreters also available

Court interpreters for English to Japanese, Japanese to English and multiple other languages

TJC’s Japanese court interpreters can assist in court cases of various lengths, providing both short-term and long-term support in locations in Europe, Asia, North & South America, Australasia and Africa.

It is vital for a court interpreter to have substantial experience and an understanding of legal proceedings when working in complex and challenging court cases. Communication in the courtroom may be more complex than one might expect. This is often down to the use of legal jargon and specific terminology and the posing of negative or double negative questions by barristers and other legal professionals.

TJC Global’s highly qualified court interpreters can help prevent this and establish smooth, transparent communication between parties. They have extensive legal terminology and can recognise complex phrasing and pick up on colloquialisms, adjusting their interpretation accordingly. This ensures glitch-free court interpreting whatever the context.

About Japanese

Spoken by around 125 million people, Japanese is the predominant language of Japan and a member of the Japonic language family. Traditionally unknown to speakers of other languages (perhaps due to the dramatic difference in structure, sound and alphabet to the main European languages), Japanese has now become a critical business language and is widely studied by foreigners. In 2012 alone, 4 million people were learning Japanese. This surge of interest is mainly due to the Japanese economic boom in the 80s, its status as a technology/engineering giant, and mass global interest in Japanese culture such as ‘Manga’ and ‘Anime’.

Although they may appear similar to non-speakers, Chinese and Japanese have no genealogical relationship. Nonetheless, the Japanese script uses thousands of Chinese characters called ‘Kanji’ and has done so for centuries. ‘Kanji’ is just one of three alphabets used in Japanese, the others being ‘Hiragana’ and ‘Katakana’ (with the Latin script alphabet or ‘Romaji’ used for foreign terms). Hiragana is used for the purely Japanese alphabet. At the same time, Katakana, which looks to the untrained eye simpler than both Hiragana and Kanji, is a series of characters representing individual Japanese phonemes or sounds. It is often used to transcribe foreign words and, in the past, was used as shorthand for the more complex ‘Kanji’.

Japanese is spoken by around 99% of the Japanese population. Dialects and variations, such as the Rkyukyan languages, including Kunigami, Okinawan and Amami, are spoken by some in Okinawa, but few children now learn these. Most schools instead teach Japanese and English to children.

Like any other nation, Japan has its own business etiquette. See our Doing Business in Japan Page to find out more.
