Khrushchev’s Words That Shook the West

In “Mistranslation: Soviet Union 'We will bury you',” the article revisits a Cold War flashpoint: Nikita Khrushchev’s infamous 1956 phrase. 

Though often interpreted as a nuclear threat, the original Russian language meaning suggested ideological endurance rather than annihilation. Khrushchev’s later clarification—pointing to the rise of the working class—highlights how a single phrase, mistranslated at a volatile moment in history, may have sharpened global rivalries and even accelerated the space and arms races.

Why Your Child’s Birth Certificate Might Ground Your Flight

One family’s ordeal at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport is a cautionary tale: 

Without a certified English translation of their daughter’s birth certificate, they were denied boarding to South Africa. 

As global regulations tighten to prevent child trafficking, many countries now require unabridged birth certificates showing both parents’ names—plus certified translations if not in English. Documents like Japan’s Koseki Tohon or Shussei Todoke are acceptable, but timing and local availability matter. Avoid costly, last-minute chaos by preparing the right paperwork and verifying requirements with the destination country’s embassy before you fly.

Understanding Sworn Translation

 

 Sworn translation, often mistaken for official or certified translation, is a specialized service that ensures a document’s authenticity. Providing clarity, sworn translation is one of 4 types of official translation,

As a form of official translation, it is recognized only in civil law countries like France, Spain, Germany, and Italy, where government-appointed sworn translators provide legally binding translations. These translations include a sworn statement, signed before a legal official, attesting to their accuracy. In contrast, common law countries like the US and UK do not have sworn translation but use certificates of translation for official purposes. You'll also find Certified Translation in Japan.

Due to varying legal requirements, it’s essential to confirm specific guidelines with the relevant authorities to ensure compliance.

Japanese Translation Services Wanted in the Caliphate!?

Supposed solicitation from the leader of the Caliphate -- It doesn’t get much better than this!

Who ever said that the translation industry was boring?

Of course, ISIS has many ways of securing a measly 13 big ones among its legions of fanatical jihadis, a fact I’m not sure the perpetrators of this Nigerian 419 SCAM (aka Nigerian Prince Scam) took into account.

And, with the Caliphate now existing in all but name as of this posting, I wonder what the next SCAM will be…

Nigerian Prince Scam

The 419 SCAM is what’s known as an “Advanced-fee Scam” typically offering a greater reward for a small upfront fee and gets its name from the section of the Nigerian Criminal Code dealing with fraud and the charges and penalties for such offenders.

INTERSTING FACT

Although Nigeria is most often the nation referred to in these scams, they mainly originate in other nations.

Folks, if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is! Check out this fascinating article on the BBC about people who lost more than their shirts to this scam. It's a real eye-opener - Read The 419 scam

Japanese Translation Services: Decoding Pricing and Volume for Professional Translation

When it comes to Japanese translation pricing, understanding how volume impacts cost is key to getting the best value for your project. 

 

Let's unravel the complexities of translation volume and pricing, so you can approach your professional translation needs with confidence and clarity.

How is Translation Volume Measured?

The way translation volume is measured can seem straightforward at first glance, but it's more nuanced than it appears. Generally, translation volume in the source document is measured either by:

• Words (characters)
• Pages

Word Count: A Transparent Approach

Using words or characters is a transparent way to calculate pricing. For instance, 100 words at JPY20 per word totals JPY2,000. However, there's a twist: some translation software doesn't count repetitive words, assuming there's no need to translate the same word multiple times. For example, in the previous sentence “word” appears twice, so the software will only count the first instance.

Further, sentences with partial matches to others in the source text (known as “fuzzy matches”) are discounted according to the degree of similarity. This can lead to variations in calculated volume, especially as these software tools often produce inconsistent results across different languages.

Page Count: Simplicity with Caveats

On the surface, calculating based on the number of pages seems simpler. A straightforward calculation like 1 page x JPY2,000 equals JPY2,000. But, this method isn't without its own complexities. Factors such as margin settings, font type, and font size all affect how much text fits on a page and, consequently, the translation volume.

Alternative Volume Calculations

Adding to the complexity, some companies calculate volume based on the output, either the number of translated words or pages. Others might base their pricing on the hours needed to complete the project. It's important to be aware that these methods can provide opportunities for less scrupulous companies to inflate the final cost by “padding” output volume.
