To obtain better English translation, it is important to prepare original text 

appropriately for translation. This chapter explains hints for creating such 

original text.

■ Making simple original text

● Shortening sentences

In general, the longer the sentences, the more difficult the contents are to understand. This is 
due to more complicated modifications. Rewrite such sentences into shorter, clearer ones.

⇒ Composing sentences of no more than 50 characters
⇒ Putting 1 topic in 1 sentence
