How to say "Other" in Japanese

When translating "other" into Japanese, you must choose carefully between 一方 and 以外. In Japanese, 一方 (いっぽう (ippou)) is typically associated with "on the other hand; meanwhile; one side" (Syllabus Level: N3) and represents Used to contrast two situations or to describe two things happening simultaneously. Often seen in the pattern 「Aである一方、Bでもある」 or 「Aする一方、Bする」.. On the other hand, 以外 (いがい (igai)) maps to "other than, except for, besides" (Syllabus Level: N3) and represents Used to exclude something from a general statement. Often follows a noun or a phrase ending in の to indicate 'all except X'.. A literal translation of "other" can often sound unnatural to native Japanese speakers if mixed up!
