// Translation vs Localization

Same source.
Different result.

Standard Translation

우리 플랫폼은 비즈니스가 더 효율적으로 운영하도록 도와주는 도구를 제공합니다.

→ Grammatically correct, but reads as translated. Awkward rhythm. Generic register. Trust loss in B2B contexts.

KHIP Localization

복잡한 업무, 단순하게. 비즈니스를 더 가볍게 운영할 수 있는 도구를 제공합니다.

→ Native Korean rhythm. Brand-voice register. Concrete benefit-first framing. Reads as if written in Korean originally.

// The Problem

Most Korean translation
still reads as translated.

Most translation work — even from premium agencies — produces Korean text that feels translated. The grammar is correct, the words match, but the rhythm is wrong, the formality is off, and the cultural references are leaden. For consumer-facing content, this kills conversion. For B2B materials, it kills trust.

Real Korean localization requires three things rarely combined in one shop: deep target-language fluency (we hold a joint Korean-English Translation MA from two top universities, in Korea and Australia), industry vocabulary fluency, and a style-guide-first methodology that produces consistent voice across thousands of strings.

// FAQ

Common questions.

Do you do machine translation?

We do AI post-editing — taking machine output and refining it to human-grade. We don't deliver raw MT. The cost difference between MT post-edit and pure human translation depends on source quality.

Can you handle ongoing localization for our product?

Yes. Most clients move to a retainer with a defined word-count budget per month and SLA on turnaround.

Do you provide certified translation?

Notarized translation can be arranged through a partner network. Our core focus is content, not legal certification.
