Job description:
MHT Corporation has positions available for experienced translators able to work from Japanese into English, from English into Japanese, or both ways. We are especially looking for people with a background working with financial, legal or IT documents, although we welcome applications in all specializations. Translators who have experienced in writing English for reports, journal submissions and other publications are especially welcome.
This position is off-site, which means that you would be expected to work from your own home or office. The position is available on a full-time or part-time basis, with a minimum of three days per week availability expected. This should be especially attractive for translators who wish to enjoy the benefits of working from home while simultaneously guaranteeing an income. Please note that we do not work with J-E/E-J translators on a freelance basis.
Your base salary is calculated based on a scale that primarily reflects your experience and qualifications. We will advise you of your starting base salary in any offer we make after reviewing your application and your trial translations. If your productivity in any month exceeds your base quota, your salary will rise at a scaled rate. Again, you will be advised of this rate with any offer. We may also increase your base salary over time, as you become more familiar with the type of work we do.
We will forward you documents for translation primarily by fax or email, so successful applicants will have access to both. In rare cases, we may mail you the documents and/or references. In virtually all cases, we will expect you to return your completed translations to us via email.

About the Trials: We have chosen trials that closely reflect the work we actually do. Please note the following.
- These trials are not real jobs. To protect the confidentiality of our clients, they have been "manufactured." We have taken every care to ensure that the content is plausible.
- Experienced translators will know that one of the greatest difficulties in translation is lack of context. That applies with these trials, which have deliberately been prepared in "extract" format.
- You may include questions or comments in translated work, although we recommend that you don't overdo it. We believe that the ability to solve questions is part of the translator's skill set.
- Please assume that your readership consists of professionals in the subject matter.
- Please do not email us with questions about the trials.
