Japanese to Russian: what changes

Russian text usually runs about 92% longer than the source. The translated file grows and pagination will not match the original.

What makes translation into Russian harder:

grammatical gender has to stay consistent across the whole book
a rich case system means endings shift with the syntax
subjects are frequently dropped and inferred from context

What makes the Japanese original harder to read

Difficulty comes from the source language as much as the target. Here is what has to be untangled in Japanese text:

The original does not separate words with spaces, so phrase boundaries have to be recovered algorithmically — and that determines where the text is cut into translation segments.
Japanese originals are more compact than most languages: one character carries more meaning, so a short page can expand into a noticeably longer translation.
honorific suffixes encode relationships between characters; ignoring them strips a layer of meaning from dialogue
the verb sits at the end, so the meaning of a sentence only resolves at the last word
number is not marked grammatically, so singular versus plural has to be recovered from context
the subject is often omitted, so who is acting has to be inferred from preceding sentences
long sentences with nested clauses must be parsed whole, or the links between parts are lost
