Korean Translation Agencies

Translation is a growing industry with new translation agencies constantly arriving on the scene. Each translation agency is different with its own language and technology strengths. For example, a translation agency may or may not offer Korean translation, depending on its business model. Even Korean translation agencies differ from one another, with some choosing to supplement Korean translation services with Korean internationalization, localization, desktop publishing, testing, and globalization consulting services.

Korean Translation
Korean translation agencies provide translations for a wide spectrum of industries, including finance, life sciences, legal, pharmaceutical, telecommunications, information technology, and more. Many Korean translation companies provide translation services for three basic media: software and associated components, Web sites, and documentation.

Korean Internationalization
Korean Internationalization (I18n) is the process of enabling back-end technologies to function or support Korean.

Korean Localization
Localization deals primarily with the front-end or linguistic and cosmetic aspects of a software application or Web site, including locale-specific content, cultural correctness, translations, and design. Korean translation agencies can adapt a product for South Korea by localizing it specifically for those areas.

Korean Desktop Publishing
Korean document translation refers to the translation of printed materials such as user guides, medical inserts, financial information, and more. Korean translation agencies that provide this service are also likely to provide Korean desktop publishing, which involves maintaining the formatting specifications of the source documents.

Korean Testing
In order to ensure your localized Korean Web site or software application is fully functional and completely adapted to target users, a Korean translation agency must use experienced Korean testers and follow a thorough test plan.

Korean Globalization Consulting Services
Some Korean translation agencies choose to offer globalization consulting services, which provide consultation and education in areas such as site promotion, target markets analysis, cultural correctness analysis, and more.
