Xevo Inc.“I hired Hiroki in 2018 to translate our company's website content from English to Japanese and then again in 2020 when we updated our website. The content was highly technical and featured a lot of automotive and software industry-specific verbiage. Hiroki did an amazing job with the translation and was truly a pleasure to work with throughout the translation process. He worked quickly and was very communicative during the project. He was very thorough and asked thoughtful questions to ensure the content was translated appropriately for our target audience. I highly recommend working with Hiroki for any English-Japanese translation needs, and I look forward to the opportunity to work with him again in the future.”

His work ethic and personal skills are A++. We would certainly engage his services again.”
