I was asked to translate for the Japanese localization (translation, etc.) of persona/, a Google Chrome application by Barcelona-based company Layers. It’s an application made to check your Twitter, Facebook and RSS feeds with comfort and style. It’s free and it installs in a minute, so if I got your interest why not try it [...]
During this year’s Barcelona Manga Fair, Planeta de Agostini launched its Spanish edition for Record of Lodoss Wars: La Bruja Gris, a manga adaptation for the pioneering Japanese heroic fantasy novel. Translation was ordered to Daruma, and I was in charge of the first draft. I translated every balloon and onomatopoeia, and I think it’s [...]

Everything is made so that it’s easy to subscribe and unsubscribe, and easy to use with Japanese mobile phones.

I made this service in order to connect the Japanese and Spanish languages in both directions. For more information on [...]

They called to speak about how to make a podcast, and how to distribute it without pain using WordPress. Here’s a translation of an abstract to [...]
It’s been a while since I last wrote about the international education classes I do at some schools (I wrote about it here and here). Today I’d like to share some experiences and pictures. But not many pictures, as Japan is very protective of their children’s privacy and likeness. I have talked to elementary, junior [...]
Last Saturday I joined an event called WordPress 3.0 Kaigi. I met a bunch of people (there were more than 60) and it was very interesting. About the end, I explained in Japanese how to distribute a podcast easily using WordPress and no plugins. Below is my presentation. And this is a summary of my [...]
