Professional Korean Translation Services

The history of the language begins with Proto-Korean, which is believed to have been spoken in the 2nd and 3rd century BC. Over time, many words were borrowed from Chinese, and these are still common today; other tongues were also influential on modern Korean, but only Mongolian has left a significant mark.

As a widespread, East Asian language it is spoken as a mother tongue by almost 80 million people, making Korean the largest language isolate in the world. The vast majority of native speakers are from South and North Korea, which is not surprising since it is the national tongue of both.

It is the official language in both North and South Korea. Additionally, approximately 2 million people in China, 1 million in the United States, and half a million in Japan also speak Korean as a main language.

The EU and the Republic of Korea have strengthened their economic and political ties recently. The two parties recently signed a free trade agreement, and South Korea is the only country in the world with all three agreements covering economics, politics and security currently in effect. Its no wonder then that you will find large Korean communities in many European countries. About 5,300 Koreans, have a German base in the Frankfurt-Rhine Main Area. It is also the home to international headquarters of major Korean corporations such as Kia Motors, Hyundai, Samsung Electronics and LG International.

Although North and South share the same mother tongue, they each have a different standardised form, which accounts for differences in pronunciation, vocabulary, and so on. Having said that, the dialects spoken by Koreans on either side of the border remain mutually intelligible to varying degrees.

We have been serving private clients as well as global corporations for over 20 years and have built up expertise in the industries of Finance, Automotive, Medical, Pharmaceutical, Electronics and Telecommunications.

Many companies offer translation services, but not all of them specialise in Korean so the first thing you need to do is choose a company that has vast experience in translating your target languages.

There is indeed some free and readily available translation software online, think Google Translate. If you are on a tight budget and require fast turnaround times it can be tempting to use translation services that utilise web-based programmes for text translation. After all, many of these online translation services are free and easy to use right? The reality is that translation software is not a substitute for the expertise and experience of a qualified translator.

Software programmes are not able to fully process Korean script and they do not have the accuracy of a real human who understands the cultural context and words used by real people. That is why we would always recommend you use a professional Korean translator over a computer-based programme, especially for your contractual business documents.
