Program Volunteers |
Let me introduce the volunteer members who take
part in our foreign language radio programs.
There are two kinds of volunteers involved in this program, translators
and announcers. "Volunteer Translators" translate the Japanese text
into one of several foreign languages. Native speakers serve as
"Volunteer Announcers", reading the translated text at the radio
station recording studio.
This process occurs monthly except in the case of natural disasters or
other important events.

Volunteer
Translators
Volunteer translators are asked to translate our
Japanese manuscripts to foreign languages. Depending on the program,
the volume of the translation required may vary. Regardless of the
translation, the deadline for finished translations is always one week
from the time you accept the assignment. Translation is a hard job,
translations need to factually accurate, colloquial, and written in
manner suitable for broadcast on the radio.
Our programs for foreign residents cover various topics such as tax,
legal and welfare information and introductions of Japanese culture.
Local area names, proper nouns and jargon often appear in our scripts.
Translators must work very hard to ensure the accuracy of their work.
That said, native announcers check the translation and correct them as
they like; providing a safety net when you are not fully confident in
your translation. We can provide revised scripts to translators on
request.

Volunteer
Announcers
Volunteer announcers are responsible for
recording at the studio. The most important part of their job is to
present the information clearly and accurately. The Global Voice
program is 8 minutes while Public Service Announcements are 4, both are
short programs. It is difficult to read the script within the limited
time available. However, volunteers' reading pace improves with every
recording.
Volunteers enjoy the radio station's unique atmosphere and working
together with the radio station's creative staff and disc jockeys.
