Varieties
Korean Varieties and Dialects
As with most languages around the world, Korean uses a variety of dialects based on the location of a population as well as the density of the population in a specific region. Our language translation services guarantee that linguistic differences are accounted for, whether you need a simple business document translation, or if you require English to Korean translation services for your entire website and online presence.
- The English language varies greatly from Korean. Most Eastern languages are much more difficult to translate from English, as grammar rules are vastly different in some areas. The Korean language uses characters that are likely to be unrecognizable to the native English speaker with little to no training in Eastern languages such as Korean and Chinese.
- Seoul/Standard Korean: This is the most common Korean dialect, which is often spoken in the capital of Korea, Seoul.
- Gyeongsang: The Gyeongsang dialect is spoken by more than 10 million people, in both the North and the South Gyeongsang areas of Korea.
- Jeolla: The Jeolla dialect can be detected mostly in the southwest of South Korea. Most citizens with the Jeolla dialect typically end their sentences using filler words, or may drag their sentences on.
- Chungcheong: The Chungcheong dialect comes directly from the South Korean province known as Chungcheong. This dialect is similar to standard Korean, but its often spoken much slower.
Translators
Professional Korean Translators
With a wide range of online translators and downloadable smartphone apps available on a whim, you may be wondering why professional Korean translators are necessary. While applications and online translators can help provide you with an overview of a topic or subject, they are rarely accurate, which can cost you sales or a new customer if you are running a business.
Translators will need to familiarize themselves with proper formatting when working with scripts, apps, and even websites that require additional formatting during translation. Our translators are well-versed in Korean and Eastern languages, giving them a staunch advantage over traditional and online translators. We use thorough and stringent testing regiments to screen and qualify our English to Korean translators.
Andovar has worked with major companies in a wide range of industries, including Nestle, Oracle, Spotify, Uber, Symantec, and Chevon to deliver the highest quality English to Korean translations with every new project and client. We utilize today's state-of-the-art technologies such as the Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) tools in conjunction with our qualified and trained Korean translators to deliver top-notch results every time.
It is imperative to become familiar with the Korean language, dialect, and structure as a translator. At Andovar, we work only with translators who are completely trained and qualified to take on English to Korean translation projects we receive.
Software
Korean Software Translation Services
Building software or launching an app is extremely limiting from a business perspective if you are only offering the software in one language. When you think of major companies such as Microsoft, Oracle, and Spotify, you know immediately that they are international companies and are available worldwide. Using Korean software translation services from Andovar can help you to take your own business to the next level of success, especially in a thriving industry.
Whether you are seeking Korean software translation services for cloud-based software, mobile applications, or even programs that are server-based, our translators are here to help.
Our professional Korean software translators specialize in working on multiple platforms, regardless of the type of software you are building or intend to share and sell.

At Andovar, our translators specialize in the localization of software, which will allow the software to adapt to the language of your user based on their preferences as well as their own geolocation.

Into English
Korean to English Translation Services
The Korean to English translation services we provide at Andovar will have your customers believing your company is native to Korea. We pride ourselves on hiring and working with only the most talented, trained, and qualified Korean to English translators.
Our translators speak and read fluent Korean, making them ideal candidates to take on translation jobs ranging from traditional white papers and official business documents to entire websites for a business or brand. Each time we take on a new client, we use a variety of QA, or quality assurance methods to ensure our job is done right.
In addition to working with digital materials that require translations, we also use OCR, or Optical Character Recognition solutions to help with scanning and translating printed materials for our clients. We are prepared to utilize OTT, or Over-The-Top content whenever you need content translated from Korean to English. We use a variety of tools alongside our professional translators to ensure our translators are done right the first time.

Subtitles
Korean Subtitle Translation Services
With the rise of automated subtitle translation programs and cloud-based solutions, using Korean subtitle translation services may seem unnecessary. However, most automated subtitle generators that translate Korean to English or English to Korean struggle in terms of accuracy as well as understanding specific dialects and varieties of the Korean language.
Our translators work to preserve the artistic tone of a video, show, or even an entire game by better understanding our client's needs as well as specific audiences and/or dialects that should be considered and included. Just a few of our Korean subtitle translation corporate clients include Disney+, Netflix, and Netease, who place their trust in our hands to translate videos, corporate communications, and even YouTube content.
Because the Korean language typically takes longer to express ideas than the English language, our translators work to preserve the quality of translated content without sacrificing important dialogue. Whether subtitles require colloquial speech or if it is best to avoid using Korean slurs altogether, our translators are here to help.
We support a wide range of media subtitle formats, including SRT, VTT, SCC, and TTML. If your preferred subtitle format is not listed, we can likely accommodate it upon request.

Our translators work hard to preserve your brand's image, voice, and overall consistency, whether you are translating white papers, official business documents, or printed marketing materials. Each of our translators is well-versed and rigorously trained in various Korean dialects to help preserve the tone and style of each translation you require, both printed and online.
We help every step of the way with our Korean document translation services, from digitizing printed materials using OCR to using powerful technologies such as CAT Tools, TM and Termbase to ensure the quality and the accuracy of all of your translations. We work with a variety of document types ranging from MS Office (Word, PPT, etc.) files to Adobe InDesign, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Illustrator files. We can help with standard printed translations as well as technical document translation on the fly.
