■TOIN’s Semiconductor Translation Service

Semiconductors are the core of hardware, the most important industry in recent years, and the foundation of all technology.

With the globalization of business, markets are expanding all over the world, and translation is indispensable in the semiconductor industry. In the field of semiconductors, however, a wide range of knowledge is required for translation work, including customs clearance, semiconductor development, testing, equipment used in semiconductors, and semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Therefore, it is difficult to deal with this field using only general translation techniques, and it is a field that requires specialized knowledge and high translation skills.

In technical translation, including semiconductor translation, specialized knowledge is essential in addition to translation skills, but the number of translators who can handle this task is insufficient, and there are only a few translation companies that can provide high-quality translations.

Toin’s semiconductor translation service delivers high-quality translations across the entire semiconductor field, from semiconductors to related fields, inspection, and customs clearance, by experienced translators with expertise in the field.

■Need for Global Semiconductor Translations

Due to the nature of semiconductors, products which are not just used in one country, international transactions are common. For reasons such as manufacturing outside of Japan or doing business with foreign companies, the need for translation is involved in various situations such as communication, negotiation, inspection, customs clearance, etc.

Another characteristic of the semiconductor field is its international environment, where even Japanese companies collaborate with Western companies and research institutes to develop, pass on manufacturing know-how, and train engineers.

As the scope of translation becomes broader, such as the wide range of semiconductors used and customs-related procedures related to imports and exports, more is required of the translation work. In the unlikely event that a translator is unable to handle the translation and the quality of the translation deteriorates, the company’s credibility could be damaged. Therefore, careful selection of a translation company is important.

In the wave of globalization, where countries are taking measures regarding semiconductors as strategic commodities due to the intensification of the high-tech sector and supply chain risks, as well as geopolitical risks, the semiconductor sector will increasingly require high-quality translations in the future.

■Semiconductors as International Strategic Commodities and Translation

Given the recent global shortage of semiconductors, a number of major countries and regions are taking steps to strengthen the competitiveness of their future semiconductor industries. Semiconductors will become increasingly important as an international strategic commodity to countries in the future.

From the perspective of economic security, it is expected that countries, including Japan, will move toward international competition to enclose semiconductor manufacturing bases in their own countries and regions. In order to survive fierce international competition, it is necessary to obtain global information quickly and act quickly to keep up with other countries. Accurate and speedy translations are essential for this purpose.

In addition, the security management of translation data is very important. Since many semiconductor-related translation requests also involve confidential information, it is desirable to select a reliable translation company that has an organization-wide commitment to security management.

■Features of Semiconductor Translations

The difficulty in semiconductor translations is their diversity. Semiconductors are involved in a wide range of fields, including semiconductor circuit devices and power semiconductors such as those used in electric vehicles. Therefore, in many cases, special expertise in a particular field is required for translations. And, technical translation related to semiconductors requires extensive expertise not only in semiconductors themselves, but also in the equipment in which semiconductors are used, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and so on. It is also a difficult field to work in if you are not familiar with IT in general, as it is the latest technology.

Since semiconductors are distributed globally, customs-related translations are also required. Therefore, in addition to knowledge of semiconductors, some translations require specialized knowledge of customs-related terms and characteristic phrases.

So, semiconductor translations are not only different from general translations, but are also a particularly difficult field of technical translation to deal with. Therefore, only translators who are familiar with technical translation in addition to general translation, and who also have knowledge of semiconductors and specialize in semiconductor translation can provide high-quality translations.

■Here’s How TOIN’s Semiconductor Translations are Different

Toin’s semiconductor translation services provide high-quality translations in all fields related to semiconductors, from semiconductors to customs clearance. The wealth of experience and advanced translation technology that can only be achieved through our long history is the reason why they say “For semiconductors, choose Toin.”

What’s more, Toin’s IT-related translations have an established reputation, and the company has handled more IT technology translations than any other in the industry since the golden days of localization in 2000.

Based on many years of translation experience in the semiconductor and related fields, Toin can quickly provide high-quality translations by deploying the appropriate personnel according to the content and purpose of the translation. In terms of information security also, Toin follows international standards.

We have acquired “ISO/IEC27001(ISMS)” Certification and are committed to the continuous operation, improvement, and enhancement of information security management.

We have also acquired “ISO17100” certificationfor various technical translations, a certification that few translation companies in Japan have obtained, which guarantees the quality of translations.

In this way, Toin provides highly accurate translations with a thoroughly implemented security system and compliance and personal information management.

The semiconductor sector is expected to continue to expand. To keep up with the trend of globalization, use the safe and high-quality semiconductor translation services of Toin.
