Wow I looked at this between Korean and English -- it's very impressive. Amazing, in fact, b/c Korean and Japanese seem to be the hardest to get right(?). There were inaccuracies but in the past even getting the gist of something was difficult. I then tried translating newspaper text from Korean to French, but that was making far more mistakes... Also, going from English to Korean is better but, for example, "I'll go nuts" turns into "I'll bear fruit" (나는 열매 맺을거야) and so on. And of course the social / honorific stuff can't be conveyed yet. But it's head and shoulders over the previous versions. Amazing. A bit frightening.
Just reading Korean is really hard for me b/c I'm not Korean... so this should help. It might not help my Korean language skill, though... or will it? Of course it also tends to devalue my skill of reading in Korean... or does it?
- sharpy 10y agoThat example aside, as a native speaker, I've found the English-to-Korean translation to be rather good!
- kwillets 10y agoI put in a few sentences, and it seems much better. It seemed to have trouble rearranging words and phrases over long distances (due to grammatical differences) before.
