A day in the life of Nippon.com
[2012.04.12]

Yesterday on Nippon.com we uploaded one new piece in English: “Opening Up Japanese Fashion,” a discussion among three figures in the fashion industry. We try to post one new item each day, but the site can seem slow-moving at times.

It isn’t. We publish material in multiple languages, and our goal is to do the same in each of the editions of the website. Here’s the complete list of everything else that we put up on April 11:

The bulk of our content is created in Japanese first and then translated into the other languages. In time you will see just about everything made available in English, most of it in Chinese, and some of it in French and Spanish. We aren’t a huge outfit—there are fewer than 30 people in our office, and not even a quarter of them are translators—so there’s a limit to what we can produce in each language every day. But we do try to bring you something.

We haven’t come up with an elegant way to switch between languages when viewing content that’s available in other translations, but we hope you’ll head to the language menu at the top of the site and click through to any other versions of the content you can read. Enjoy!
