30 Years of Expertise in Trusted Korean Translation Services
Korean is spoken in both South Korea and North Korea, as well as by many South Korean expatriates around the globe. Korean has over 80 million native speakers and is almost a language isolate, since it is only related to one other language spoken anywhere in the world today – the critically endangered Jeju language, which only has around 5,000 native speakers.
Due to the economic importance of South Korea and the growing influence of South Korean culture worldwide, translation to and from Korean is a hugely valuable asset for any business looking to expand its global reach.
At Business Language Services, we have an expert team of Korean linguists and have over 30 years of experience providing high-quality translations to and from Korean, as well as many other language services.

Cultural sensitivity in Korean translation
Korean culture deeply influences the language, which has a complex system of ‘speech levels’ and honorifics that mark the formality of any situation. This system is intuitive for any native Korean speaker, as it is based on the social hierarchy of Korean society, but it can be challenging to fully convey when translating from Korean into another language such as English, whose speakers have vastly different cultures.
Similarly, translations of literary or marketing-related texts into Korean often require extensive research, and it is common for translators to request additional information from the source text author, so that they can ensure that the Korean text accurately conveys the original text’s intentions and tone for a Korean audience.
