About me
I review Japanese that was written or translated by AI, and explain every change in English. Most of what I'm sent is grammatically correct. It just doesn't read like something a Japanese person would actually write. The subject is spelled out where Japanese would drop it. Every character speaks in the same polite tone. A button label runs twice as long as it needs to and stops fitting. I write fiction in Japanese, so I'm used to noticing choices like these. You get the corrected Japanese plus notes in English on what I changed and why. You shouldn't have to take my edits on faith.... Read more

I write fiction in Japanese and edit my own manuscripts through a structured review process. That is the work I bring to localization QA. I read Japanese for the places where the writing stops sounding like a person made a choice, and I explain each change in English so the client can judge the reasoning without reading Japanese.
