Hiroaki Y.

Japanese Financial Translator & AI/Research QA Specialist | EN/JA

I am a native Japanese financial translator, editor, and linguistic QA specialist with extensive professional experience in financial and business content. My core expertise is in financial markets, macroeconomics, monetary policy, fixed income, banking, corporate research, and economic analysis. I work with complex professional content such as market research, investment-related materials, financial news, and institutional research. My services include: • English → Japanese financial translation • Japanese → English financial translation • Financial translation review and editing • AI-generated translation review / MTPE • Linguistic QA and terminology review • AI output evaluation for financial and Japanese-language content • Research QA for financial and economic materials My approach combines three areas of expertise: 1. Financial knowledge I do not treat financial translation as a simple language-conversion task. I pay close attention to the underlying financial logic, market context, terminology, causality, numerical information, and the author's intended argument. 2. Translation and editing experience As a native Japanese professional, I produce clear and accurate Japanese suitable for financial and business readers. For Japanese-to-English work, I combine careful interpretation of the Japanese source with AI-assisted drafting and rigorous human verification. 3. AI-assisted quality assurance I use AI where appropriate to improve efficiency, but I do not rely on AI output without verification. I personally check meaning, terminology, numbers, logical relationships, omissions, additions, and final-language quality against the source. I am particularly interested in projects involving: • Macroeconomic and central-bank research • Interest rates and fixed income • Banking and financial institutions • Corporate and industry research • Financial news and market commentary • Financial research AI output review and evaluation • Japanese-language AI output evaluation • Translation and localization QA If your project requires not only fluent Japanese or English, but also an understanding of what the financial content actually means, I would be happy to discuss how I can help.
