Matt Rouge translation update for November 10, 2009

Although the world economy has been in a fritz for more than a year now, 2009 has been the strongest year yet in my career. I don’t take this situation for granted, and I’m extremely grateful that I have clients who appreciate my work and continue to invest in marketing materials during the downturn.

In this busy year, August-October have been the busiest months. I was in Japan from the end of July to the end of August, working flat-out on English-to-Japanese translation projects for my major Japanese automaker client.

Here is what I worked on for this client August-October:

  • Translated the better part of the annual environmental report and edited the work of other translators
  • Translated the better part of the annual corporate social responsibility report and edited the work of other translators
  • Translated several articles for a new portion of the company website dealing with design
  • Translated the better part of a the press kit for the 41st Tokyo Motor Show 2009
  • Translated the copy for a poster used around the world
  • Translated several press releases

I also did a lot of work for this client that did not involve translation.

The end of the year will probably be a bit less busy, since Japan goes into Shogatsu mode–but it will still be busy. Thank you, clients!
