A real Japanese version, not Chinese with Japanese subtitles
Subtitling a Chinese video leaves your Japanese audience reading while the Mandarin audio plays underneath. ngram builds an actual Japanese version: the Chinese speech is transcribed and translated, a Japanese AI voice re-narrates it on the original timing, the captions are rebuilt in Japanese, and any Chinese titles or lower thirds on screen are re-set in Japanese.
Both languages are CJK, but they do not share a script: Chinese runs on hanzi in Simplified or Traditional form, while Japanese mixes kanji with hiragana and katakana, so on-screen text is genuinely re-rendered rather than copied across. The register carries too, so a formal corporate script lands in proper keigo for a Japanese business audience. Simplified source from the mainland and Traditional source from Taiwan are both understood on the way in.
Japanese AI voiceover
The narration is re-voiced in natural Japanese with a business-appropriate politeness register, timed to the Mandarin original.
Japanese captions
Captions are translated into Japanese and re-timed, kept to short CJK lines that avoid mid-word breaks so they stay readable.
On-screen text
Chinese titles, callouts, and lower thirds in Simplified or Traditional characters come out in Japanese kanji and kana, not left in the source.
AI lip sync
Mouth movement adjusts to the Japanese voiceover so a talking-head cut still reads as native.
Why Chinese teams translate video into Japanese
Japanese is how Japan buys, learns, and onboards, and the China to Japan corridor runs on a real Japanese cut, not subtitles.
Reach Japan in the language it prefers
Japan is the world's third-largest advertising market and strongly prefers Japanese-language content. A Chinese product demo or campaign becomes usable there in Japanese without a re-shoot.
Meet what Japanese buyers expect
Japanese buyers expect localized onboarding and support video, and content that leaves them reading subtitles stalls adoption. Delivering in proper keigo Japanese meets that expectation where a Mandarin cut would go unwatched.
Extend a Chinese video library across the corridor
Chinese-language product and manufacturing video is produced in volume for Mainland China, Taiwan, and Singapore, and Japan is a high-value next market to extend that library into along the China to Japan trade axis.
