Our History

In the vibrant year of 2010, Mikado Translations emerged onto the linguistic stage, guided by a visionary purpose: to redefine the standards of excellence in the realm of translation services. With a fervent dedication to delivering unmatched precision and clarity, Mikado set its sights on becoming a beacon of reliability and innovation in the industry.

From its inception, Mikado embarked on its journey with a focus on bridging linguistic divides between Japanese and English. As pioneers in Japanese-to-English and English-to-Japanese translation, we established ourselves as leaders in facilitating cross-cultural communication between East and West.

As the years unfolded, Mikado remained at the forefront of linguistic innovation. In the transformative year of 2020, we expanded our language offerings to include Chinese-to-English and English-to-Chinese translation services, further broadening our global reach and enriching our repertoire of linguistic capabilities.

Buoyed by our commitment to excellence and fueled by our passion for language, Mikado continued to evolve. In 2022, we welcomed Italian into our portfolio, adding Italian-to-English and English-to-Italian translation services to our comprehensive suite of offerings.

Amidst the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence and automation, the translation landscape underwent seismic shifts. Yet, in the face of this technological upheaval, Mikado Translations charted its own course. Rather than surrendering to the allure of automated solutions, we embraced the timeless artistry of human translation, recognizing its unparalleled ability to capture the subtleties and nuances of language.

As industries grappled with the implications of job displacement and the encroaching tide of automation, Mikado remained resolute in its commitment to human-centric translation practices. While technology played a supportive role in enhancing efficiency and workflow management, the heart of our operations remained firmly rooted in the expertise and intuition of our human translators.

Through years of unwavering dedication and steadfast resolve, Mikado Translations has evolved into a symbol of integrity and excellence. Our team of seasoned professionals, equipped with unparalleled linguistic proficiency, continues to forge meaningful connections and transcend cultural boundaries through the power of language.

Embracing our legacy of craftsmanship and ingenuity, Mikado remains steadfast in our pursuit of linguistic mastery. With each translation project, we strive not only to convey information, but to evoke emotion, foster understanding, and ignite connections across diverse communities and cultures.

As we embark upon the next chapter of our journey, Mikado Translations stands poised to continue our legacy of excellence, shaping the future of translation with unwavering dedication and unparalleled expertise.
