Japanese and Italian Interpreting Experience

In over 13 years of professional interpreting work, besides the many years spent in large high-tech companies we have accumulated considerable experience in many technical and non-technical fields alike.

Since it is almost impossible or even futile and burdensome for us to list and keeping up-to-date all our interpreting jobs, in this page we provide only a list of the main subject matters we have been called to deal with.

A good interpreter's hallmarks

How we formed ourselves as interpreters

We carried out our first Italian-Japanese interpreting job in Milano in 1996 for a world-wide known jewellery company. Before that, Taeko Kani was the secretary of the two Japanese Vice-Presidents of the Japanese company she had worked for until 1996, where she was in charge of translation and interpreting activities for the visiting head office executives and the local media. Since then she has been developing her linguistic skills in many other industrial sectors, mostly small and medium-size Italian and Japanese companies willing to establish a business relationship. From jewellery, then, to many other fields - including technical ones - with a stream of opportunities further developed after our move to Japan in 1977.
