Rujirada Eakkerd
@rujiradaeakkerd
I’m an advanced Japanese language specialist translating, localizing, and evaluating content.
What I'm looking for
I’m a native Thai speaker with advanced Japanese fluency, certified by JLPT N1 (136/180, 2026). Over 4+ years of professional experience, I produce, translate, and evaluate Japanese-language content across corporate, creative, and entertainment contexts—always focusing on accuracy, tone, register, and cultural appropriateness.
In my most recent role, I evaluated and translated 3,000+ words/day of Japanese business content and provided real-time Japanese↔Thai interpretation in meetings, including sensitive medical interpretation with precision under pressure. I also independently localized 31 Japanese videos into Thai with careful line-by-line judgment for accuracy, cultural fit, timing, and readability, and I’ve written/evaluated Japanese advertising copy where campaigns achieved 1M+ impressions.
