There are many different forms of external communication and any translation has to be tailored to our clients’ needs and the intended audience. Urban Connections works with translators specializing in a wide range of fields, from government communication, which requires accuracy and formality, to fashion-related communication, where creativity and a softer tone are more appropriate. After delivering our translations, we work with our clients to address any feedback they may have, to ensure total satisfaction.

Creating an effective message that is accepted and understood around the world demands a depth of knowledge and excellent writing skills. At Urban Connections we have a team of communication consultants who use their wide range of writing expertise to support our clients in a variety of ways, including editing academic works; copywriting; and planning, conducting and writing up interviews.

Different languages have different formatting rules. That’s why when creating multilingual content, such as a printed publication or a video, having a perfect translation is not enough. At Urban Connections, we understand that if the format isn’t right, our client’s message will lose its intended effect, wasting valuable time and energy. We ensure that any translation that is subsequently formatted, printed, published, or embedded in video is checked by a native speaker of the target language, making the process as smooth as possible and giving our clients peace of mind.

From start to finish, multilingual conferences present the organizers with many different challenges. Urban Connections offers total support throughout the process, including organizing and managing the conference itself, as well as communication and documentation support in a variety of languages, such as the translation and preparation of presentation materials, interpreting, and the creation of summaries and conference reports.

International conferences and other important on-site meetings call for interpreters of the highest standard. In addition to excellent interpreting ability, interpreters must be quick on their feet and able to adapt to any situation. The interpreters at Urban Connections go one step further, assisting our clients as true communication consultants who do not limit themselves to merely “interpreting” words. Our interpreters are prepared to deal with any potential unforeseeable development that could occur during a face-to-face meeting, and are able to respond flexibly in situations that require extensive knowledge and cultural awareness.

For many organizations, overcoming the communication barrier is the first challenge when trying to develop international business opportunities. Urban Connections provides comprehensive support for connecting Japanese and global business partners, collaborators, and audiences. We provide not only linguistic but also cultural guidance, including market research, English language training, study tour coordination, inbound tourism consulting, and more.
