Official language of Japan — relevant for Egyptian/Gulf automotive and electronics imports and manufacturing partnerships

Japanese translation requests at our offices are almost entirely technical and commercial — operating manuals, technical specifications, and quality documentation for Japanese-manufactured automotive and electronics equipment imported into Egypt and the Gulf, plus the occasional manufacturing partnership contract. Japanese sentence structure and honorific/formality levels are very different from both Arabic and English, so a translator needs genuine fluency rather than reliance on a pivot language — technical Japanese documentation in particular uses specialized vocabulary that general-purpose Japanese translators often get wrong.
