Bridge the Gap Between English and Japanese!

About:

S-trans Translation Service began in 2006 in Shizuoka City Shimizu Industry & Information Plaza. Owned and operated by Japanese-English translator, Hirofumi Murata, S-Trans continues to offer professional, timely and exceptional customer service in both Japanese and English.

Murata lived in Toronto, Canada from 1995 to 1998 where he honed his English speaking and writing skills. This experience was a springboard for his career as a translator and interpreter. In 1998, Murata joined FUJIFILM Corporation (Fujinomiya Plant) where he was in charge of translating technical documents such as meeting minutes, operation manuals and inspection sheets related to medical equipment projects. In addition, he attended meetings and accompanied senior employees as a translator on business trips in Japan to assist with visiting clients from USA and Canada.

Today, Murata works with a small team of translators who together make S-trans Translation Service sought after by individuals and large corporations who require services in Japanese and English.
