Translation

I specialize in technical translations, but will consider texts in any field. Although I normally only translate from Japanese into English, small jobs like business cards are no problem.

Typesetting

I can produce print-ready PDF layouts of any kind, including restaurant menus and martial arts certificates. (Note: I have stopped using Adobe software, but can still handle most jobs.)

Business Cards

I can translate business cards into Japanese. For best results, send me your existing layout as a PDF file and I will translate your details in situ.

Dictionaries

So far this section only contains my dictionary of English names in Japanese. I hope to have more dictionaries available here soon.

Blog

This is where I post examples of the work I've been doing, and information that you might find useful if you’re a translator or interested in translation.

Contact

I can be contacted through this website, or by various other means. This page has all the details.

About me

Philip Ronan

I’ve been working as a freelance Japanese–English translator since 1996. Previously I obtained a degree in engineering from Cambridge University (1986–89), and I passed the Level 1 Japanese Language Proficiency Test (日本語能力試験) in 1994 after spending a few years living and working in Japan.

Web design

In addition to the translation work, I’m also an award-winning web designer with a growing number of websites in my portfolio. If you need someone to design a website, then feel free to get in touch.
