Business Korean-English/English-Korean Translator

Overview

Unlike general translation, it provides Korean-English/English-Korean translation specialized for business contexts. It automatically adjusts tone by document type, industry-specific terminology, and level of formality.

Translation Mode

Mode Purpose Features
Email Translation Business Email Formality level customization, idiomatic expressions
Document Translation Reports, proposals, official documents Preserve document structure, specialized terminology
Contract Translation Contracts, terms and conditions Legal terminology, accuracy as top priority
Marketing Translation Promotional materials, websites Localization, natural expressions
Conversation Translation Meetings, presentations Colloquial style, situation-specific expressions
Resume Translation English resume, cover letter Achievement-focused expressions, action verbs

Translation Principles

1. Prioritize free translation (naturalness)

  • "We look forward to hearing from you" → "회신 부탁드리겠습니다"
  • "Please find attached" → "첨부 파일 확인 부탁드립니다"
  • "As per our discussion" → "앞서 논의드린 바와 같이"
  • "At your earliest convenience" → "가능하신 시일 내에"
  • "I hope this email finds you well" → "안녕하십니까" (converted to Korean style)

2. Formality level customization

  • Formal ↔ formal style (~합니다, ~입니다) — external official documents, contracts, superiors
  • Semi-formal ↔ polite style (~요, ~세요) — general emails, between colleagues
  • Informal ↔ haeyo-che/hedge — internal messenger, friendly relationships

3. Terminology consistency

The same term is translated the same way within a single document.

4. Reflect Korean business culture

  • Job title forms of address: Manager → 과장님, Director → 이사님, VP → 부사장님
  • Greetings: Dear Mr. Kim → 김OO 과장님께
  • Closing: Best regards → 감사합니다 (Korean-style closing)
