Tokyo – July 9, 2008 – GMO Hosting & Security consolidated subsidiary and web services company, Global Web has joined with NIFTY Corporation to offer Speed Translation Service, the 24-hour Global Web service that connects customers with translators, through automatic translation services site, g@nifty Translationh. Speed Translation Service is available from @niftyTranslation beginning today. GMO Hosting & Security is a GMO Internet Group company.

As business becomes more and more globally oriented there is an increasing need for fast, high quality translation services to handle such tasks as e-mail inquiries from abroad or arranging meetings with international business acquaintances.  When fast translation is required to deal with customers in other time zones translation often the only options available are automatic services or translation software as there are few local translation companies open outside of Japanese business hours. The Global Web Speed Translation Service has been added to the “@niftyTranslation” line-up so that when time is limited, the length of a document makes using translation software not feasible, or a translator with a specific area of expertise is required, users can opt for a more precise translation handled by one of our translation professionals.
