About Us

Brainwoods, a translation and interpretation company

Brainwoods was founded as a translation company in 2000. The company name comes from the idea of bringing together (woods) diverse and creative talents (brain). With translation, interpretation and video localization as our three core businesses, we have developed services that solve communication challenges in our clients’ global businesses. We also provide foreign-language-specialised temporary staffing, corporate English training, and multilingual website production and desktop publishing. While developing our foundations in translation and interpretation, Brainwoods aims to become a multilingual communication company that brings people around the world closer together.

Mission

As a multilingual service provider

Brainwoods is a multilingual service provider offering translation, video localization, website production and desktop publishing, interpretation, foreign-language temporary staffing and corporate English training. We support companies and organisations requiring language services, including translation and interpretation, in a wide range of languages—not only English, but also Asian languages such as Chinese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese and Indonesian; European languages such as French, German, Italian, Spanish and Russian; and other less-used languages. Through these efforts, we aim to contribute to the international community.

Quality

Quality translation you can use immediately on delivery

Brainwoods is committed to providing companies and organisations with quality translation that can be used immediately on delivery. Our specialised translation teams, capable of handling highly technical fields such as IT, medical and pharmaceutical, finance, advertising and manufacturing, carefully complete the translation of your documents. For Japanese–English and English–Japanese translation, our production framework conforms to ISO 17100, the international standard for translation services. We secure proven translators, and can provide high-quality translations incorporating two stages of review and proofreading, as well as native-speaker checks for foreign languages. Leave your technical and business translations—including manuals, technical documents, contracts, brochures, websites and marketing materials—to us.
