Han Translation Gifts 2.0

Our Han Translation Blog has evolved into a more dynamic and interactive product feed. The focus will also shift from individual products to design groups, and our online stores have been reorganized to better support this modified direction.

Our Meta Store

Han Translation has yet again adapted its products and services to incorporate a revolutionary web technology. Metaplace. A virtual world on the internet, or a 3D web space.

We have opened a storefront in this new environment and encourage our loyal customers to have a look and share your opinion. The site is still in closed beta testing, but will open to the public soon. At that time, anyone will be able to embed our flash-based virtual world in a blog or web page.

New Boutique Shop

For years we have built our Cafepress.com shop into an internationally known brand. We are pleased with the success and have previously been unwilling to explore other distributors for our products.

However, recent changes to the Zazzle.com service has presented us with a new opportunity. As a result, we using them to test a small boutique shop of Han Translation Gift products.

These specialty items will not be found in our main store, and are planned to rotate seasonally. We think this limited expansion is an exciting opportunity for us and our loyal customers. We invite you to visit the satellite boutique at:

Expanding by Brick and Pixel

Over the past few months, Han Translation has expanded its web store and translation capacity.

On the art side, several hundred new designs have been added to our product inventory. These range in language and style, as we have aimed to satisfy the diversified interests of our loyal customers. We are also considering other web store supply vendors, and hope to offer a new range of product types in the near future.

On the translation side, our Nagoya office has finished its relocation and expansion. This move was a needed step to facilitate the growth of our China-to-Japan business services. While we continue to operate our Chicago office, many of our resources have shifted to Asia. However, this has only given us more tools to better fulfill the needs of our global clients.

These are just a few of the exciting updates that we have been involved in with our translation and design work. All in an effort to add as much value as possible to what we do, which allows our clients to be even more successful at what they do best - and save on costs.

The Radish and the Girl with Long Hair

Another classic folklore re-imagined into an original fairy-tale, "The Radish and the Girl with Long Hair" takes the reader on a fantastic journey to a distant Asian land. Farmers had moved near the high mountain to live because it provided everything they needed to prosper. But the fertile soil mysteriously turns barren. Crops wither and the people suffer from lack of water. One day while searching for food on the high mountain, a young girl with long hair makes a fantastic discovery. A magic radish stands as gatekeeper of a treasure that will save the land. However, before she can reveal the secret that will free her village, Long Hair Girl is captured by the god of the mountain.
