Japanese to English Localization for a Sake and Shochu Manufacturer
Localization of Sake and Shochu Brewery Listings
We partnered with the Japan Sake and Shochu Makers Association to localize their entire directory of sake and shochu producers. Our work included translating Japanese addresses with cultural and geographic accuracy, creating a keyword glossary, and optimizing entries for Google Search. All translated data was uploaded to WordPress with SEO in mind.
Translating Complex Japanese Address Formats
Japanese address structures differ significantly from Western formats, which can cause confusion or loss of information during translation.
Our Solution
Address Localization Accuracy
We conducted detailed address research for every listing to ensure accurate and intuitive English equivalents, preserving essential location details for international users.
Maintaining Consistency Across 1,100+ Entries
With such a large dataset, inconsistencies in terminology and formatting could degrade user trust and search engine ranking.
Our Solution
Glossary and Translation Standardization
We developed a custom glossary and applied style and format standards across all listings, ensuring uniform language and tone throughout the site.
Limited Search Visibility for English Users
The original Japanese website lacked optimization for English-language SEO, resulting in poor visibility on Google.
Our Solution
Base Site SEO Optimization
We implemented foundational SEO best practices for English-language content, including keyword-optimized headings, meta tags, and structured data.
Accurate and Scalable Content Upload
Uploading hundreds of translated entries manually to WordPress risked errors and inefficiencies.
Our Solution
WordPress CMS Implementation
We created a streamlined upload and review process using WordPress CMS, allowing for accurate, efficient entry of over 1,100 records with final quality assurance checks.
