We are a group of professional simultaneous interpreters in Kyushu, Japan. We established this group called SIAK in 1998. Since then we have been involved in various events including international conferences as interpreters. Now we dispatch Korean and Chinese interpreters as well. Recently we started sending interpreters to hospitals and clinics in order to help foreigners who cannot understand Japanese so that they can receive proper treatment.
Nowadays transforming words into some other languages can be done with PC, smartphones or tablet PC, however, the speaker’s heart or mind cannot be conveyed. We try our best to transmit the proper interpretation along with the speaker’s heart and mind. We promise we can satisfy you with our interpretation and translation.
