李工这批外壳和样品相比有轻微色差，需要返工，出货可能要推迟三天。可以吗？
今回の筐体はサンプルと比べてわずかに色差があり、手直しが必要です。出荷が3日ほど遅れる見込みですが、よろしいでしょうか。

A Japanese–Chinese meeting in Deeptrue
A Chinese factory reports a slight color mismatch to its Japanese customer before shipping. The factory’s engineer speaks Chinese; the Japanese buyer answers in Japanese.
- 01
色差 is written the same in both languages, but the Chinese 返工 and the Japanese 手直し are not: the glossary keeps each side’s own term.
- 02
The delay stays explicit: “推迟三天” becomes “3日ほど遅れる”, so both sides know exactly how late the shipment is.
- 03
The engineer is addressed as 李工 (“engineer Li”), the usual Chinese way to address a technical counterpart.
Who holds Japanese–Chinese meetings
Japan–China meetings are mostly about making things: production, quality and delivery, week after week.
Manufacturers and Chinese suppliers
Production meetings with OEM factories and parts suppliers: schedules, capacity, costs and drawing changes.
Quality and inspection
Defect reports, corrective actions and inspection results, where a misunderstood tolerance or color turns into a shipment problem.
Trading companies and sourcing teams
Buyers at trading companies and retailers negotiating prices, samples and lead times with factories in China.
Subsidiaries and Chinese customers
Management meetings between Japanese headquarters and Chinese subsidiaries, and teams serving Chinese customers in Japan.
Tips for Japanese–Chinese meetings
Japanese and Chinese share characters, which helps and misleads in equal measure.
- 01
Same characters, different meanings
Shared characters can mislead: 手紙 is a letter in Japanese, but 手纸 is toilet paper in Chinese, and Japanese 検討 (to consider) is not Chinese 检讨 (self-criticism). Don’t guess from the characters; read the translation.
- 02
Surname plus title
Chinese partners are called 王总 (Mr. Wang, the boss), 李经理 (Manager Li) or 李工 (engineer Li). Add these forms, and the Japanese names you use, to the glossary.
- 03
Discounts count what you pay
Both languages count in 万 (10,000), so figures carry over cleanly, but Chinese gives discounts as the share you pay: 八折 is 20% off. Check figures in the meeting notes after the call and confirm them in writing.
- 04
Expect calls on their apps
Chinese suppliers often prefer a quick WeChat call or a Tencent Meeting link, and many factories use DingTalk. Take these calls on your computer so Deeptrue can translate them.
Set it up once, then just talk
Deeptrue runs next to your meeting app on your computer. Only you need it.
- 01
Choose Japanese and Chinese
Open Deeptrue before the call and pick the meeting’s two languages. Add people, companies and terms to your glossary.
- 02

What the other side says appears as a live caption, with the original right above the translation.
