Korean is the language I know. What I said is the same for it. Hangul(Korean writing system) is not a logograph like Chinese/Japanese but an alphabet. Many words do have different meanings but all languages have this to an extent. I don't think that's the reason Korean is context dependent. The bigger reason is that Korean is very pro drop. Strictly speaking 친구 있어요 ? means Friend Have ? And you would say exactly that for any of these English equivalents "Do they have friends ?" "Do you have a friend ?" "Do you have friends ?" "Does he have a friend ?" And so on. Plurality as a special marker doesn't really exist. Possessive and Article Determiners don't really exist either. Articles don't exist at all. Possessive markers are few and only used when surrounding context might not be enough to convey the needed information. Subject/Object/Topic markers exist but are regularly omitted. You might ask, well how would you know which of those equivalents 친구 있어요 means ? There is no way to tell before reading or hearing the surrounding context. Traditional models are unable to decipher this context and translations are only good with close language pairs. Google translate can be very good for English to French and Japanese to Korean but fail on Korean to English.
