This site was created and is maintained by Tim Silver. I am a Japanese to English freelance translator specializing in the fields of economics, business, and finance but also having worked on translation projects in various fields. <br><br> I offer quality translation at a reasonable rate. You can be assured of the quality of my translations since before accepting any project, I look at the material to make sure I have the skill to do the project. You can download and view some examples of my translation work by clicking <a href="translation examples.pdf/">here</a> (the examples are in a PDF file). My prices are lower than those of many translation agencies, which often use freelance translators like myself, since you are going directly to the translator. <br><br> Please have a look at my <A HREF="#Resume"><font size="2">resume</font></a> to get a feeling for my background, and if you would like to use my services, please go to the <A HREF="#Translation Requests"><font size="2">translation request</font></a> page.
