Japanese App Translation

Japan has long been at the forefront of technological innovations and dominates the cell phone market when it comes to usage statistics. At the beginning of 2011, there were over 110 million people using mobile devices daily — 98% of whom were subscribed to 3G data plans. A survey found that cell phones are so prevalent in Japan that over 30% of their users take them to bed with them every day.

The Japanese mobile phone app market is expanding each and every day, so now's a great time to think about localizing your app into Japanese. When it comes to translating your app, it might be hard to figure out where to start — that's why myGengo's Japanese app translation team is here to help.

Why You Should Translate Your App into Japanese

The number of apps available in the Japanese Apple and Android markets is rapidly increasing on a daily basis. In fact, just last month, Seed Planning predicted that the size of Japan's smartphone gaming industry would expand 30-fold by 2015.

If the allure of a huge, promising market isn't enough, here are a few more ways going global can improve your success:

You'll diversify your customer base. Japan's population totals over 120 million, over 90% of whom possess a mobile phone.

You'll increase your revenue. Over 50% of the people surveyed said they use mobile e-commerce sites to purchase items.

You'll be able to test a new audience. Smartphone usage in Asia is expected to double by 2016, and getting a foothold in the market will improve your branding.
