The situation is very different in Japan. As a result, no matter how popular Turkish TV shows are, media translators are mostly translating from English to Turkish. However, when it comes to cultural exports, it is difficult to be as successful as the United States. Truth to be told, thanks to the popularity of Turkish soap operas in Arabic-speaking countries and Latin America, Turkey is not doing so badly in the media sector. Another translation type that makes the bulk of translation work is media translation. When electronics or consumer goods are not manufactured in a country or when they are manufactured in limited numbers but rarely exported to other markets, there is little need to translate all these materials I have mentioned. These texts include user manuals, user interfaces, help articles, customer support instructions, educational materials, and many more. First of all, as Turkey’s manufacturing sector is not as large as, let’s say, Germany’s or Japan’s, texts related to this sector are not translated very frequently. There are multiple reasons for this phenomenon. Translations made from Turkish to other languages are minuscule in comparison. In Turkey, the translation market I work in, translations are usually done from other languages to Turkish. Then we can continue with English to Japanese translation. First, let’s discuss the job opportunities Japanese to English translators and translation agencies have. Whether you are translating from Japanese to English or from English to Japanese, the Japanese translation market has a lot to offer. Then we will explain how to utilize machine translation tools for translating to and from Japanese and lastly how to better use Google Translate when translating between English and Japanese. In this blog post, we will dive deeper into the Japanese translation market with job opportunities and average salaries for Japanese translators.
