Ryoko Takato

I’m a Japanese language specialist with hands-on experience in AI linguistic evaluation, machine translation refinement, and Japanese–English translation. I deliver expert feedback to engineers with exceptional attention to detail, optimizing processes across language-quality workflows.

In my current role as a Freelance Language Evaluator & Translator, I perform search result evaluation for Japanese content and assess relevance, English accuracy, and output quality. I also provide Japanese–English translation services, ensuring linguistic accuracy, natural fluency, and cultural appropriateness, while managing quality control and deadlines independently.

Previously, as a Search Language Specialist at QUALITEST, I evaluated and corrected AI-generated Japanese text, focusing on particles, auxiliary verbs, verb conjugations, and honorific language. As a Translation Quality Manager at Unbabel, I improved AI-generated Japanese translation quality, supported MT quality analysis through data extraction and outsourcing, and helped internal teams enhance Japanese MT system performance.
