Professional English-/Chinese-Japanese Quality Translation & MTPE (Machine Translation Post Editing) Services Available at Fair Prices

Our professional, experienced staff at the Sunup Translation Service Office (the "Office"), making a range of quality translation services available to potential customers like you at fair prices, is eager and ready to address your translation needs in a wide spectrum of fields from B2C (personal) to B2B (business) relations.

Typically, B2C translation relates to certificates, family registers or visas, bank account registers, etc., whereas B2B one covers instruction manuals or specs for industrial and medical equipment, contractual documents, technical or IT-related things (website localization, etc.) and more.

A trial offer or order is available at a reduced price; so, we welcome customers who would want to make a request for a very small amount of work, before placing a formal order with us, to assess the finished quality of the work done by us. The Office is also willing to prepare quotes for prospective customers for free. Why don’t you ask for a quote on your potential service order now? In so doing, please let us know if you have any preference or request regarding that service order.

Unless otherwise required by such a law as the relevant personal information protection act, the Office shall not provide or impart the personal information entrusted to it by a customer to any third party without the customer's prior permission.

With a view to analyzing, measuring, and improving its website performance, the Office uses “Google Analytics,” a web analytics tool offered by Google, for its website.

In addition, please note that where a customer places an order with the Office for a translation and then cancels the order halfway through the translation process, the customer may be charged the original translation fee on a pro-rata basis according to the progress made in the translation process.

12. Due date for return

The Office shall correct any error or flaw that a customer has identified from a deliverable immediately upon request from the customer, provided that such a request should be in principle made within two (2) weeks after their receipt of the deliverable.
