Hi! so I believe couple of months ago I went here [https://www.moj.go.jp/isa/](https://www.moj.go.jp/isa/)
and I can select the language I want then I can get the english version of [this document](https://www.moj.go.jp/isa/content/930001655.pdf) Highly Skilled Proffesional in English (looking for the one with heisei 29 on the top). But now I can’t ?
you guys know where is it now?
right now it’s also has automatic translation engine. IIRC the previous one is much better.

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted, because yes, I believe you’re right. I noticed they got rid of the English page and now it’s only auto-translate and no longer links to the previously existing official English versions of the pdf etc docs, which is frankly very dumb and a negative change. I’m assuming it’s to avoid the burden of having to translate for every update etc., but still not great and one of the places where you really do want to have properly done official English translations. Or *at the least* a link to the older versions for reference, instead of just erasing all the English ones.
At any rate unless you are truly zero at Japanese, and your username assures me that’s not the case since you’re apparently jyouzu, it’s better to just go at it with the Japanese forms and look up something that you’re not sure about.
The English page was seriously out of date and lacked several items that were on the Japanese one. Maybe enough people complained about that that they just said “fuck it” and removed the English content. Honestly I think it’s better than having bad information with a good translation.
The English version of the Excel sheet was out of date years ago. I wouldn’t trust it even if you could find it.
