How Korean and English compare

Different writing systems

Korean uses Hangul while English uses Latin. Because the two do not share an alphabet, translated output cannot be sounded out from the original spelling — copy the result directly rather than trying to transcribe it.

Sentence structure changes

Korean follows subject-object-verb (SOV) order while English follows subject-verb-object (SVO). The translator has to rebuild each sentence rather than substitute words in place, so the output will not line up word-for-word with your input. Splitting long sentences improves accuracy.

Speakers

Korean: Approximately 81 million speakers worldwide. English: Approximately 1.5 billion people speak English to varying degrees of proficiency, with around 360 million native speakers.
