Common problems when translating this pair
- Too little context: translate a whole sentence rather than an isolated word. Keep time expressions and the person being addressed in the text.
- Names and numbers: keep personal names, product codes, dates and amounts recognizable. Do not split an address or reference number across separate submissions.
- Tone: decide whether the message is a friendly chat, a customer reply or a formal request before choosing the wording.

Korean: translation notes
Korean uses speech levels that reflect relationships between speakers. Review endings for the appropriate formality. Spacing can affect how a phrase is interpreted.
English: translation notes
English words such as “bank” and “right” have several meanings. Add a full sentence to help resolve them. English “you” does not distinguish formal address or singular from plural; specify the audience when reviewing the result.
