Translating Korean to English: what to know
Subject Omission Is Standard in Korean
Korean frequently drops subjects when context makes them clear, while English requires explicit subjects in most sentences. When translating, you must infer and supply the appropriate subject pronouns (I, you, he, she, they) based on context, honorifics, and verb endings. Failing to add subjects produces incomplete English sentences that confuse readers.
Verb-Final Word Order Requires Restructuring
Korean follows subject-object-verb order, placing verbs at sentence end, while English uses subject-verb-object. You must completely reorganize sentence structure rather than translating word-by-word. Relative clauses and modifiers also precede nouns in Korean but often follow them in English. Direct translation produces awkward, unnatural phrasing that obscures meaning.
Honorific Levels Don't Map Directly
Korean has grammatically encoded honorific systems (formal, informal, humble, honorific) built into verb endings and vocabulary, while English conveys politeness through word choice and phrasing. You must interpret the social relationship and context, then choose appropriate English register and terms of address. Simply translating words loses crucial social meaning embedded in Korean grammar.

What does the confidence band under the translation mean?
After each translation, a second AI check compares the original and the translation and shows a confidence band: High confidence, Review changes, or Meaning may have changed. It's a model estimate, not a guarantee — whatever the band says, double-check names, numbers and negations in the translation. The raw judge score appears as secondary detail in the “Why?” explanation, labeled as an estimate. The check processes your text and immediately discards it; only the score is kept.
