Managing a Japanese website as a non-native speaker is not easy. Do you already have Japanese pages but still in English? Let’s fix that.

Localizing content is not just about translating texts.  Cultural context should also be taken into consideration. Simply translating English into Japanese is not enough.

You have a bilingual, English and Japanese website, but the Japanese pages are all in English or only some of the pages are in Japanese

The pages are in Japanese but you are not confident whether you are conveying your messages properly.

Japanese pages are not optimized with important keywords that you should be targeting

The meta titles and descriptions are still in English!

These pages could be pages like About, Service pages or blog posts. If this is the case, you may be leaving a lot of opportunities on the table.

Your English website may not be well-structured to begin with. It may not have a logical flow and clear focus. If you ask someone to just translate, the Japanese pages will have even less focus.

Keyword is a term that poeple type into on Google or other search engine sites.  If you use exact keywords people are using to find information, you will increase the chances of your site getting found on search engines.
