Frequent Problems with Korean Translators
Anyone who has required a document to be translated from or into Korean can attest that translation services are dime a dozen. Some offer the cheapest prices, while others promise the fastest turnaround time. However, there are many problems associated with these ‘quick fix’ agencies:
- Korean is a unique language: Amateur translators can rarely grasp the intricacies of this language and you end up with a document that is only superficially translated. The original meaning of the document is lost. This is a huge problem for content sensitive documents like marketing materials or technical paperwork.
- Korean is always changing: Korean is not a static language and is constantly subject to modifications and improvements in terms of grammar and spellings. Most translators are unaware of the changes that have occurred in Korean since they studied it and provide you with outdated and technically incorrect translated works.
- Unprofessionalism: Often, freelance translators who sell their services at cheap prices, are found to be unprofessional. They do not adhere to agreed deadlines, are uncommunicative and can also vanish for long periods in the middle of the project leaving you high and dry.

KOREAN LANGUAGE SERVICES

About the Korean Language
Korean is the language native to North Korea and South Korea and is also an official language of China’s ‘Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture’. In total, there are 80 million people in the world who identify themselves as speakers of the Korean language.
One interesting fact about Korean is that it is a ‘language isolate’. This means that Korean does not belong to any family of languages in the world and is completely unique. Partly due to this, Korean is believed to be one of the more difficult languages to be learned from scratch.
Korean script has not stayed constant over time but has changed and evolved with society. For more than 1000 years, Korean language was written in a script called ‘Hanja’ which was used along with phonetic systems called hyangchal, gugyeol and idu. Later, in the 15th century, a new writing system called ‘Hangul’ came up, which was developed by ‘Sejong the Great’.
