Theodore Laurent

Having lived, studied, and worked in Japan for over 5 years (2018-2024), I offer you much more than academic translation: a true understanding of Japanese cultural codes and market.

In the age of AI, translating words is easy. Understanding the "Honne" (the real intention) behind the "Tatemae" (the social facade) is a challenge that only a human can overcome. I secure your exchanges by ensuring your messages respect the complex nuances of Japanese business.

My expertise:

Translation & Localization (JP ↔ FR ↔ EN): Adapting your materials (product sheets, emails, presentations) so they "sound" Japanese.

Monitoring & Sourcing: Researching economic information or specific products on the Japanese web (Yahoo Auctions, Mercari, economic press).

Cultural Intermediation: Helping you decode the responses of your Japanese counterparts.

Why collaborate with me?

On-the-Ground Experience: I know the real Japan, not the one from textbooks.

Business Approach: As an economics student, I understand your profitability and precision goals.
