Insights
  • 「最大限の努力を払って」 means “exerting maximum effort”, which sounds heavy in a routine business reply.
  • Pronunciation · Hepburn Otoiawase ni tsukimashite wa, saidaigen no doryoku o haratte dekiru dake jinsoku ni gohentō sasete itadakimasu.

The translation, a note on the wording and the pronunciation, side by side.

We will make efforts to respond to your inquiry as quickly as possible.

Naturalness · Major

Literal translation of 「努力します」 sounds stilted in English.

Current:

make efforts to

Suggested:

strive to

Native English omits the noun form; a single verb is more natural.

Insights

Check a translation even if you can't read it

If you can't read the target language, you have no way to check a translation. Fink adds insights to each result: short notes, in your language, on what the wording conveys.

After a while you notice the same notes coming up, and you start fixing those patterns in your own writing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Fink to learn a language?

Yes. Each result comes with meaning notes, pronunciation and a back translation, so you see why a translation works and can check it yourself.

What are Fink's insights?

Short notes on what the wording conveys, a pronunciation line (Hepburn for Japanese) and a back translation for checking the meaning.

How is Fink different from DeepL?

DeepL is fast and handles whole documents well, but it gives you one result. Fink shows each change it made, explains it, and adds pronunciation, a back translation and a quality summary.

How is Fink different from ChatGPT for translation?

ChatGPT can explain a translation if you ask, but the explanation and your text end up spread across replies. Fink tracks changes in place and shows a quality summary next to the text.

Is my translation data safe?

Fink runs on servers in Helsinki. Your texts and account data stay in the EU, under the GDPR.
