Lyngva Solutions and Results.

The most critical requirement was to have Japanese to English translators specializing in Forestry, Sociology, and Anthropology. As the subject areas were varied, we could not have a single translator work on the project. 3 Translators with more than 20 years of translation experience having expertise in respective fields were selected. We could meet the clientu2019s requirement by assigning 3 different Japanese translators specializing in 3 subject areas for one project because of our rich database of 650 translators who can handle 1000+ subjects.
