Tanium has ten open roles in Japan and is hiring a digital marketer to transcreate messaging for Japanese enterprise buyers and win Japanese search. Today tanium.jp is marked as Japanese (lang="ja"), canonical to itself and indexable, yet the homepage, the comparison pages, the financial services page and the blog are the English pages from tanium.com, with no Japanese text at all. A CISO at a Japanese bank who lands there reads the US site, and search engines see a "Japanese" site with no Japanese content.

Why it works
Pick the 20 pages that matter to the named-account list (homepage, Atlas, endpoint and exposure management, financial services, critical infrastructure, the NEC story, the Qualys and Tenable comparisons, demo and contact) and transcreate them with Japanese case proof. Until a page is translated, point its ja alternate to the English page instead of declaring an English copy as Japanese. Then build Japanese keyword pages for the terms the field team hears, and track them in Google and Yahoo! Japan.
Japanese enterprise buyers expect Japanese content and local proof, and a real Japanese site is the base every other Japan campaign (ABM, paid search, LINE, events) lands on.

Risks and how to handle them
Poor translation hurts trust
Have Tokyo sales and an outside reviewer approve every page.
Maintenance burden
Translate the 20 key pages first and keep the rest English.
