Current Challenge
 Correctly translated content from a grammatical point of view
 Also correct from a technical perspective?
• The audience (e.g. engineers and partners) may not be able to “understand” the content
Objective of Technical Review
 Assess and improve the quality of the translated content from a technical perspective
• Assign skilled/experienced staff who have technical/engineering backgrounds
• Check actual Japanese environment (upon request)
 Not a simple “translation review” to check misspelling, inconsistency, etc.
