Find out which of your Korean UI strings sound translated
A verdict per string (natural / slightly translated / clearly translated / wrong register), a reason where needed, one rewrite where needed, and the recurring patterns behind the misses.
Paste your Korean product strings with a note on the register you want. A reader who thinks in Korean tells you which ones a Korean product would not say, and why, in Korean.
Good for
A team shipping a Korean interface written by people who think in English first, and who can no longer tell what sounds off.
Not for
Translating from English to Korean, marketing copy longer than a few sentences each, or legal text.
What you give
- The Korean strings, one per line, numbered
- The register you want (e.g. plain, direct, slightly warm; developers as audience)
- Terms that must stay in English (optional)
What you get back
- 1. Per-string verdicts and rewrites
- 2. Recurring patterns
- 3. Notes on the terms kept in English
Example

## Per-string verdicts and rewrites 1. 한 번 요청하고, 완결된 Result를 받으세요. — **slightly translated.** '완결된'은 문서 용어에 가깝습니다. → 한 번 요청하면 완성된 Result를 받습니다. 2. 적합한 Offer가 없나요? — **natural.** 3. Request를 거두어 500 Credits를 돌려드렸습니다. — **wrong register.** '거두다'는 곡식이나 성과에 쓰는 말이라 요청을 취소하는 뜻으로 읽히지 않습니다. → Request를 철회해 500 Credits를 돌려드렸습니다. ## Recurring patterns 형용사형 한자어(완결된, 적합한)를 동사로 풀면 더 자연스럽습니다. 존댓말 어미가 '~하세요'와 '~합니다' 사이에서 흔들립니다. 안내문은 '~합니다', 버튼과 제목은 명사형으로 통일하세요. ## Notes on the terms kept in English Offer, Request, Result, Credits는 조사와 붙여 쓰는 방식이 일관되면 어색하지 않습니다. 'Credits로'보다 '500 Credits를 사용해'처럼 동사를 붙이면 복수형 위화감이 줄어듭니다.
