  Project Manager/Translator
  Depending on the availability of other personnel within the organization, either balancing the coordination and management of projects among translators, checkers, and editors with working directly on translation projects as a J-to-E translator, or focusing more exclusively on translation, with occasional checking of translations by others and editing of documents.
