In this lecture, I will share the expectations and requirements for translators and interpreters working in Japan. We will consider translators, interpreters, agents, clients who request translations, and even the end-users. We'll explore what these stakeholders expect from translations or interpretations, and how translators and interpreters should conduct themselves to meet these expectations. Let's think about these aspects together.
