Luxembourg has a significant Japanese-speaking community. Luxembourg City is the EU's primary financial and institutional centre, hosting the CJEU, the Court of Auditors and thousands of international civil servants in a trilingual context (French, German, Luxembourgish). TranslateBE connects you with a certified Japanese interpreter within 24 hours for any legal, medical, administrative or business procedure.
The Japanese-speaking community in Luxembourg
The Japanese community in Luxembourg is mainly composed of executives from Japanese corporations (Toyota, Sony, Panasonic, Mitsubishi), diplomats, university researchers and exchange students, alongside permanent residents settled in Europe.
The Japanese language, with its highly codified politeness levels (keigo) and strict formal registers, requires highly specialised interpreters experienced in international professional, medical and legal contexts.
