If a foreign employee misunderstood your work rules, a literal translation is probably why.
A word-for-word translation from a free tool can quietly change what a clause actually means. A mistranslated work rule or terms-of-employment notice becomes a "nobody told me that" dispute later. BizHonyaku never uses submitted data to train AI, and preserves the actual meaning of each clause, not just its words.
A scenario like this happens often
Tamura ran the work rules through a free translation tool before handing them to a newly hired foreign employee. Months later, that employee pushed back on a probation-period termination clause, saying they'd never been told about it. The condition was in the original — the translation had softened it into something vaguer.

Why free translators aren't built for work rules
Work rules and terms-of-employment notices define the actual conditions of employment. A literal, context-blind translation can shift the nuance or scope of a clause away from what the original actually says.
A misleading translation surfaces later as an employee saying "I was never told that" or "that's not what I understood" — and HR ends up re-explaining terms one-on-one that should have been clear from the start.
On top of that, most free tools reserve the right to use submitted text to improve their service or train their models — pasting HR documents that include names and salary terms carries its own information-handling risk.
