Korean Translation Considerations
When translating Korean documents, our translators pay attention to several language-specific factors:
Korean name order places the family name first; most Korean surnames are one syllable (e.g., Kim, Lee/Yi, Park/Bak) and given names are two syllables, but romanisation varies widely.
South Korean documents use the Gregorian calendar, but some traditional or older documents may reference the Dangun era (add 2,333 years to the Gregorian year); always clarify date systems.
Korean uses Sino-Korean number words for dates, money, and counting alongside native Korean numbers; ensure correct number systems are reflected in translations.
Hangul consists of 14 basic consonants and 10 basic vowels combined into syllable blocks. Unicode Hangul Syllables block: U+AC00-U+D7AF; Hangul Jamo: U+1100-U+11FF. South Korean documents may also include Hanja (Chinese characters). Use fonts such as Noto Sans KR, Malgun Gothic, Batang, or Apple SD Gothic Neo. Ensure correct syllable block rendering and line-breaking behaviour.
