About this language pair

English and Korean: one pair, two directions

From English into Korean you translate for business partners, clients and authorities abroad; from Korean into English for UK authorities, banks and employers. In both directions a native specialist translator with domain experience works on your text.

Where an authority asks for a certified translation, we bring in a sworn translator. The translation carries the required declaration, signature and stamp, and we arrange the Apostille or consular legalisation your destination country demands.

Translation from English to Korean

Translation from English to Korean: we deliver South Korean (ko-KR, Seoul standard), the NIKL-regulated global business norm. Our Korean translators tune endings and forms of address to the honorific system (jondaetmal) per the hierarchy between sender and Korean recipient. Sectors we regularly serve: electronics and semiconductors (Samsung, LG, SK Hynix), automotive (Hyundai, Kia), pharma and K-beauty cosmetics, K-pop / K-drama subtitling, and cross-border M&A.

Translation from Korean to English

Translation from Korean to English: for UK subsidiaries of Korean multinationals, M&A due diligence, K-content subtitling, technical specifications, and commercial correspondence. We use the Revised Romanization of Korean (RR, official since 2000) for proper names where the English context requires it.

In practice

How such a project runs

A company opens a branch abroad: website, employment contracts and product documentation go from English into Korean, while incorporation documents and bank records travel the other way. One project manager guards terminology and planning in both directions, and confirms per document whether certification or legalisation is required.

Which Korean variant does Ecrivus deliver by default?
We deliver South Korean (ko-KR, Seoul standard), the global business norm. North Korean is available on request for specific historical or journalistic contexts.
How does Ecrivus handle the Korean honorific system (jondaetmal)?
Our Korean translators tune endings and forms of address to the hierarchy between sender and recipient. For contracts and formal correspondence, an incorrect respect form is perceived as impolite.
Will my Korean translation be accepted by the Home Office or UK courts?
Yes, when certified: for UK Home Office and courts Ecrivus delivers certified Korean translations via ITI/CIOL-registered translators.
Which document types are standard for English ↔ Korean?
M&A documentation, technical specifications (automotive, semiconductor, shipbuilding), K-beauty product dossiers, subtitling, patents, and business correspondence.
How quickly will I receive a quote?
