Specializing in effective‚ reader-centered communication connecting people and business
PROV. Communications backs client companies in implementing their global communications strategies by tapping into a wealth of proven‚ effective strategies and expertise. Companies have long known that annual reports and IR materials function as one of the most important tools for establishing a strategic dialogue with stakeholders and potential stakeholders alike‚ as well as for laying the groundwork for future value creation. And‚ as more and more companies strive to connect with stakeholders in other countries like Japan‚ it is necessary to adopt the language best suited for the target readers. With a multifaceted‚ comprehensive approach utilizing a team of translation specialists‚ we support the realization of your corporate vision worldwide.
Investor relations materials and financial disclosure documents offer unique‚ detailed insights into the day-to-day operations of a corporation. Producing effective corporate communications in languages other than English not only requires a precise‚ loyal translation of all relevant‚ core information into the target language‚ but also copywriting worthy of representing the “face” of a company or organization. An accurate translation is just the first part of a process designed to facilitate open‚ natural dialog.
For over ten years‚ the professionals at PROV. have been helping clients communicate ideas and information clearly and accurately. With a truly international perspective and optimized translation and localization processes‚ including superb quality control‚ PROV. has earned the trust of organizations both in Japan and overseas.
Professional translators with expert knowledge in specialist industry fields
Translation team members from directors and project coordinators to individual translators have a solid track record in the areas of translation and localization‚ including technical translation in areas such as financial and accounting‚ electronics‚ telecommunications and software as well as manufacturing. Terminology and expressions adhere to styles and practices commonly recognized in the target language‚ and after grasping and accurately expressing the essential concepts implicit in the text‚ we polish it in a way that directly appeals to the target readers. Depending on the particular style and communicative tone preferred by the company‚ we ensure consistency by working closely with clients throughout the production process.
