The Next Step in Simultaneous Japanese-English Disclosure of IR Materials: Achieving Corporate DX with Human-AI Collaboration and Advanced CAT Tools

Since April 2025, companies listed on the TSE Prime Market are required to disclose IR materials in both Japanese and English simultaneously. For many companies, the June quarterly earnings announcement marked their first experience with this requirement. Now that the initial round is complete, practical challenges such as "How do we ensure continuity in our translation workflow?" and "How can we balance quality and speed?" are becoming increasingly clear.

In this seminar, Suguru Sakanishi, CEO of Yaraku Inc., the provider of the advanced CAT tool Yaraku Translation, powered by generative AI, will explain effective ways to leverage AI translation to support human translators. He will also discuss the "next steps" companies should consider, drawing on specific examples from IR translation workflows.

This seminar is essential not only for those involved in English translation of IR materials but also for anyone engaged in corporate translation tasks.

Key topics:

1. Opening Remarks | The New Era of IR Disclosure and Translation Challenges for Corporations
   • Background and timeline of the simultaneous disclosure requirement
   • The changing demands on corporate translation practices
2. Issues Identified from the Initial Disclosures in June
   • Concerns about having to go through the translation process again
   • Limitations and trade-offs of in-house, outsourced, and AI translation methods
3. The Practical Revolution: How AI and Human Collaboration Transforms Translation
   • How AI-powered CAT tools work and their key strengths
   • Practical examples of IR translation workflows (e.g., draft generation → review → publication)
4. Next Steps for Stable Translation Operations from August Onwards
   • Building a translation system that balances cost and quality
   • Balancing governance with operational flexibility
5. Closing Summary
   • Translation is not just a task, but a strategy that supports corporate value
   • The new translation experience enabled by Yaraku Translation: human expertise meets AI
