One Minutes' Multilingual Technology Adopted by Tokyo Metropolitan Government

Its effectiveness was demonstrated in the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's 'King Salmon Project.' Promoting the construction of language infrastructure in various fields such as administration, construction, and manufacturing, centered on multilingual technology.

One Minutes Co., Ltd.'s (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Naoki Komoriya) multilingual technology has been adopted for the survey system at Tokyo Metropolitan Government facilities (observatories and civic plazas) managed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Bureau of Finance. This adoption was implemented within the framework of the 'King Salmon Project,' promoted by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Startup Strategy Promotion Headquarters, and was published as an adoption case on the official Tokyo Metropolitan Government website as of April 1, 2026.

Based on this multilingual technology, our company is developing 'QR Talk,' a multilingual communication infrastructure for construction sites, and is promoting initiatives to break down language barriers through infrastructure, from administration to industrial sites.

What is One Minutes' Multilingual Technology?

One Minutes has independently developed multilingual technology based on the fundamental concept that 'everyone can send and receive information in their native language.' It is a technological foundation that enables multilingual communication using only smartphones, starting from QR codes, without the need for dedicated apps or devices. This technology is currently deployed as the following two products:

Adoption and Results at Tokyo Metropolitan Government

Many visitors from Japan and abroad visit the observatories and civic plazas of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. While it was necessary to grasp visitors' needs to improve facility services, challenges included collecting responses in languages other than Japanese and English, and the burden of translation work.

With the introduction of the survey system utilizing One Minutes' multilingual technology, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has announced the following results:

1. Multilingual support has made it possible to collect user feedback and a wide range of needs that could not be grasped before.

2. The need for staff to individually translate responses in languages other than Japanese has been eliminated, leading to improved operational efficiency.

3. Insights have been gained for considering future survey methods.

Bringing the Same Multilingual Technology to Construction Sites — 'QR Talk'

The multilingual technology proven at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government is also being applied to safety management and communication challenges at construction sites. QR Talk is a multilingual communication infrastructure that allows foreign workers to receive information in real-time in their native language simply by scanning a QR code installed on site.

Common Technology Base with Tokyo Metropolitan Government Survey:

- Users send and receive information in their native language

- Administrators centrally manage conversation logs and response data

Site-Specific Functions Unique to QR Talk:

- Real-time multilingual distribution of morning briefings and safety instructions

- No simultaneous connection limit (all on-site personnel can use it simultaneously)

- Record confirmation via conversation logs

With the increase in foreign workers at construction sites, the risk of accidents due to inadequate transmission of safety instructions is becoming serious. QR Talk is not just a 'translation tool,' but is being introduced mainly by general contractors and specialized construction companies as an accident prevention infrastructure and management cost reduction tool for construction sites.

Main Adopting Companies: Nittoku Construction, Kumagai Gumi Taiwan local subsidiary, J-STEP Holdings, Musashisakai Driving School, Mie Toyota Motor, etc.

Representative's Comment

Naoki Komoriya, Representative Director, One Minutes Co., Ltd.

'We are deeply honored that our multilingual technology has been adopted by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and that its effectiveness has been officially recognized. Our company is committed to building a 'language infrastructure' that communicates in native languages, rather than merely translating. This technology is not only used for the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's surveys, but also for 'QR Talk,' which is responsible for safety management at construction sites. The technology proven in administration can also contribute to accident prevention and operational efficiency in industrial settings. We will continue to realize our vision of eliminating language barriers through infrastructure in all kinds of workplaces.'
