South Korea and North Korea use different romanization schemes. So for example, 대홍단 is properly romanized https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taehongdan_County https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taehongdan_County. ("Agriculture is also key, with the county leading the nation in potato production.") Google Translate (as expected) seems unaware that it should use North Korean rominzation scheme to romanize North Korean place names.
- 4cao 6y agoI'm aware there are different romanization systems but not sure which is which. I've corrected Taehongdan. I guess it should say Paektu not Baekdu too? Update: Paektu appears to be the DPRK spelling. Source: http://sori.org/hangul/romanizations.html#Roman_Consonants http://sori.org/hangul/romanizations.html#Roman_Consonants
