  We don't just translate scenarios -- our services involving games are numerous. We produce core scenarios, arrange voice acting, and provide app development / device testing.

• Screenplays

  Original Production Advising / Material Translation

  Using our experience with content produced in and out of Japan, we can find original works of entertainment like musicals for you to publish. We introduce productions of excellence to Japan, and productions of Japan to the world.

• Culture

  Website / Blog Translation

  Our expert staff, skilled in Japanese and fond of Japanese culture, introduce Japan's pop culture to the world. We translate content from pop idol articles all the way to talent/actor production info.

  Production of Tourism Articles / Booklets

  We produce booklets, web content, and promotional material for tourism. We even have multinational staff living in Japan who gather source material for, and write, articles.

• Manga

  Manga Translation

  We translate manga for overseas publishing. We don't just translate the text, however. We can provide typesetting, editing, and the localization of content to the country where it will be sold.

• Literature

  Editing / Proofreading

  As your editing third-party, our staff translates novels from around the world, proofreads, edits, and even does desktop publishing and design. We also select and translate Japanese novels for publishing overseas.

• Video

  Subtitle Translation / Dubbing Translation

  We translate subtitles and edit video, for instance, localizing dramas and movies from in and outside Japan to multiple languages. From digitizing to production and editing, our internal pipeline lets us respond to a variety of tasks.

Other Services

• By never using an intermediary language when translating between languages, we strengthen content quality. For instance, when translating from Spanish to Japanese, we wouldn't first translate to English. Translating to English first before Japanese would lead to a loss of subtle nuance and quality.

  At Lapin, we do our best to make sure the meaning of the original language is not lost as we carefully localize.

• Multicultural Censorship
  Under the supervision of expert staff local to your target country, our localizations can be conformed to match that country's culture.

• Local Marketing Support
  Does your content match local needs? Will it be accepted?
  We answer these questions and more with business and cultural research.
