Job Description

Watching America ( is currently seeking volunteer translators to translate foreign news stories in Japanese about the United States into English.

All languages are needed and any new ideas you may have for the project are welcome!

It depends on a team of volunteers who benefit from the prestige of the project in developing their careers elsewhere, and who have a passion for the idea of breaking down the final barrier among peoples of the world — the language barrier.
