I'm seeking a professional interpreter fluent in Japanese/English with an interest in landscape architecture and design to assist in an upcoming meeting and excursion with delegates in Nerima, Japan.
I am travelling to Japan and will require interpreter services on 4th March 2024 between 08:00 and 13:00.
Requirements:
- Fluent in English and Japanese

- Available for both meeting and excursion sessions
- Professional interpreting experience in a similar setting
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
Ideal Candidate:
- You should be comfortable navigating technical discussions and translating complex concepts between English and Japanese. Familiarity with the specific landscape terminology is a must.
- Previous experience working with international delegations or in a landscape architecture context is highly desirable.
Responsibilities:
- Provide accurate and clear interpretation during the meeting
- Facilitate effective communication during the excursion, ensuring both linguistic and cultural nuances are respected
- Assist in overcoming any language barriers that may arise

This opportunity is not only for an interpreting assignment but also to contribute to a cross-cultural dialogue on landscape architecture. If you have the skills and passion for the role, I welcome your bid.
