  Conversation with a Professional Translator of Business Books

  

  In this issue, the interview features Yuko Aruga, the ever-so-in-demand translator of business books who has translated over sixty volumes in her field of expertise. Arc Communications’ relationship with Ms. Aruga goes back to when in her thirties and just starting out as a freelance translator, we assigned Ms. Aruga to her first translation project. Arc CEO & President Mariko Ohsato, who has since maintained a professional and personal relationship of mutual trust with Ms. Aruga, hosted this interview with a focus on topics such as the important factors for handling business translations and the attitude that should be adopted by professional translators.
