Korean translation services
Hangul on the page, with the formality the reader expects.
Korean at a glance
Korean uses a unique Hangul script and a highly nuanced honorific system. Our interpreters are trained in both clinical and business register so the formality level always matches the room.
Korean is written in Hangul, an alphabet arranged into syllable blocks. The written standard is based on Seoul speech, and formality must be chosen deliberately on the page too — the same sentence reads very differently in plain and honorific forms.
Korean has around 80 million speakers worldwide. We cover the varieties listed here and can match a linguist to a specific region or community on request.
