Professional Korean Translation Services

Korean and English are two vastly different languages. These discrepancies are due to the separate roots of both languages; Korean belongs to the Altaic linguistic family, whereas English is a West Germanic language. Therefore, grammar rules and syntax seem complex to non-natives. The Korean word order is Subject–Object–Verb, for example. There are also no noun cases, no articles, no plural noun forms, and high levels of agglutination. Another challenge for English to Korean translators is the correct usage of honorifics. The honorific system is hugely important in showing respect and indicating social relationships in North and South Korea. There are six degrees of addressee honorification, and verbs, nouns, pronouns, and particles vary depending on your audience. There are then seven Korean speech levels representing the same honorific system yet distinct from honorific titles. High-quality Korean to English translation and vice versa rely on fully understanding this complex system. Moreover, Korean translators must choose the correct regional dialect. The primary Korean dialects are mutually intelligible but show phonology, morphology, and vocabulary variations that are essential to perfect if you want to connect with your audience properly. Due to these challenges, English to Korean translation projects are best left to professionals. Trust our Korean translation services for the best results.

Korean is the official language of North and South Korea, with 24 million and 48 million speakers, respectively. Korean speakers are also located in China (2 million), the United States (1 million), and Japan (500,000). The Korean language is the eleventh most-spoken language in the world; there are approximately 75 million speakers worldwide. Korean is considered a language isolate, meaning it is not significantly linked to any other living language. Other language isolates include Basque and Sandawe. There are two distinct dialects in North Korea and South Korea. The North Korean dialect is considered purer, whereas the Southern version incorporates loanwords from other languages. Instead of "my" or "me," Koreans frequently say "our" or "we."
