Following up on a previous post, I’m currently working on a more detailed article about Japanese first-person pronouns.
Each one carries its own personality, and I hope it sparks your interest in Japan’s unique forms of self-expression.

Starting my second localization project today!
The first one brought a lot of joy and surprise, but also made me realize the responsibility that comes with translation.
This time, I’m approaching the work with that awareness from the start.

I’m working on a short post about how human translation can sound more natural than machine translation—especially in character naming and forms of address.
I hope it helps more people see the value of human nuance in localization!
