A:If you are preparing for a negotiation meeting, we can play the role of your business partners. If you are preparing for a Q&A session or an IR meeting, we can play the role of the audience members or investors. We will recreate the atmosphere and situation as closely to reality as possible, allowing you to sharpen your responses and prepare for every single scenario down to a tee. Such a service isn’t even possible in eikaiwas because they lack the business background to authentically replicate such situations.

Have you heard the saying “二兎を追う者は一兎をも得ず”?Let’s compare ‘Translation’ & ‘Localisation’ using the above expression.
TRANSLATION 二兎を追う者は一兎をも得ず —> “Chasing two rabbits will end up in catching neither”. (Awkward & Vague)
LOCALISATION
二兎を追う者は一兎をも得ず —> “You can’t have it both ways.” (Natural & Native)—>“You can’t have your cake and eat it.” (Natural & Native)
A native English speaking audience would most certainly understand the localised version “You can’t have it both ways” because it conveys the exact same message and atmosphere despite using different words.
In other words, a direct translation will often fail to carry across the impact and feeling of the originally intended meaning. Localisation is the highest area of Translation that requires the most knowledge of linguistic and cultural nuance in both Japanese & English.
