Service Outline

Entering or expanding into the fast-moving Japanese market requires far more than just translation. As a foreign organisation, your commitment and credibility are closely scrutinised. Success depends on strategic localisation that deeply understands cultural nuances, business practices and market expectations. At ISB Marketing, we help your products and services to achieve their full potential in Japan by crafting messages that genuinely resonate with local customers.

What is the Difference Between Translation and Localisation?

Translation focuses on conveying information accurately— essential for contracts, manuals, and technical documentation where consistency and precision matter. Localisation goes further. It adapts a product or service to local business practices, regulations and user expectations by adjusting elements such as website structure, marketing materials, and user interfaces.

Why is Localisation Important in the Japanese Market?

Trust is the foundation of Japanese business relationships, and foreign companies earn this trust by offering products that align with local customs, workflows and legal requirements.

Even if the product is identical overseas, local expectations and uses often differ. For example, payment methods and contract procedures common in other countries may not be fully accepted in Japan.

Localising your websites, content, product UI, and customer support ensures Japanese clients feel the product was truly made for their environment. This is what enables durable, long-term business relationships.
