Korean Translation
Korean, where language reflects relationships.
Korean combines a remarkably systematic writing system with grammar that expresses social relationships and levels of politeness. Etranslation provides Korean translation, localization, interpretation and multilingual services for international businesses, technology and media.
Korean localization is deeply contextual.
Korean communication uses grammatical and lexical choices that can reflect age, status, familiarity and social relationship. A translation can therefore be grammatically correct while still sounding inappropriate for its intended audience.
Korean is also particularly important in technology, gaming, entertainment, consumer electronics and digital services, where natural localization can have a significant effect on user experience.
Professional Korean localization considers terminology, sentence length, register, user-interface constraints and the expectations of Korean-speaking audiences.
Korean language profile
Modern Korean is primarily written in Hangul, an alphabetic writing system whose letters are arranged into syllable blocks.
- Korean · ko-KR
- Hangul · 한글
- Formal and informal speech levels
- Honorific and polite forms
- South Korean terminology conventions
- Strong presence in digital and audiovisual media
A writing system designed with structure.
“안녕하세요” (Annyeonghaseyo) is the familiar polite Korean greeting, while “감사합니다” (Gamsahamnida) means “thank you.”
Hangul was developed in the fifteenth century under King Sejong and is notable for arranging individual consonant and vowel letters into compact syllable blocks.
Korean also distinguishes several speech levels. Choosing the appropriate level of politeness is therefore a core localization decision, especially for customer-facing interfaces, marketing campaigns and corporate content.
