Introduction to =Korean to English

=Korean to English is designed as a specialized translation tool that bridges the gap between Korean and English, with a focus on two core areas: casual conversations and academic literature. Unlike typical machine translation tools, which often rely on direct word-for-word translation, =Korean to English aims to deliver contextually accurate and culturally nuanced translations. The design purpose is to ensure that meaning, tone, and cultural implications are preserved in the translation process, catering to different needs based on the content type. For example, in everyday conversations, expressions like '밥 먹었어요?' (literally 'Did you eat?') often function as a greeting, asking how someone is. Instead of a literal 'Did you eat?', =Korean to English would translate this to 'How have you been?' to better reflect the conversational tone and cultural intent. In academic literature, =Korean to English applies formal and precise language. For instance, a sentence from a research paper such as '이 연구는 다국적 기업의 경영 전략을 분석하였다' would be translated as 'This study analyzed the management strategies of multinational corporations,' ensuring clarity and academic rigor.

Main Functions of =Korean to English

  • Everyday Conversation Translation

    Example Example

    Translating phrases like '어제 뭐 했어?' ('What did you do yesterday?') with a casual tone to maintain the original intent, such as 'What were you up to yesterday?' instead of a rigid, literal translation.

    Example Scenario

    An English speaker chatting with a Korean friend wants to understand informal messages or social media posts without losing the colloquial context.

    Example Scenario

  • Cultural and Idiomatic Translation

    Example Example

    Example Scenario

    A non-native speaker reads a Korean text filled with idiomatic expressions and seeks a translation that makes sense in English, avoiding confusion caused by direct, literal translation.
