Why Korean Diploma Translation Matters

Translating a Korean diploma presents unique challenges beyond simple word-for-word conversion. Korean naming conventions, often with family name first, need careful handling to match English standards. The elegant Hangul (한글) script requires precise transliteration into English, especially for university names like 서울대학교 (Seoul National University) and course titles, ensuring proper context. Date formats, which typically follow YYYY.MM.DD in Korea, must be converted accurately. Furthermore, understanding the specific terminology for degrees, majors, and institutional seals or *직인 (jik-in)* on the diploma is crucial for an authentic and accepted English version. Lekhak specializes in these nuances.

Frequently Asked Questions

Korean Diploma to English translation — common questions

Do I need to translate my Korean *졸업증명서 (joreopjeungmyeongseo)* or just the diploma?
While the diploma (졸업장) is your degree certificate, institutions often require a *졸업증명서* (graduation certificate) or *성적증명서* (transcript) as well. We can translate both, ensuring all your academic records are accurately presented in English.
How do you handle Korean university names like '서울대학교' or '연세대학교' in translation?
We use the official English names provided by the universities themselves, such as 'Seoul National University' or 'Yonsei University,' while also transliterating the Hangul for clarity where appropriate. This ensures consistency and recognition by foreign institutions.
Will the translation include the original Korean school seal or *직인*?
Yes, our certified translations include a description or rendering of any official seals (*직인*) or stamps present on the original Korean diploma, confirming its authenticity and official nature.
What if my Korean diploma has a unique academic term or course title?
Our expert translators are familiar with Korean academic terminology. They will accurately translate unique course titles and specialized academic terms, ensuring their meaning is conveyed precisely in English, maintaining the integrity of your qualification.
Is your Korean to English diploma translation accepted by WES or ECE for credential evaluation?
Yes, our certified Korean to English diploma translations are prepared to meet the specific requirements of credential evaluation services like WES (World Education Services) and ECE (Educational Credential Evaluators), facilitating your academic recognition abroad.
How do you ensure correct handling of Korean names with honorifics or specific family name order?
We adhere to professional translation standards for Korean names, typically presenting them in the common Western format (given name followed by family name) unless otherwise specified, while ensuring consistency with any provided transliteration or passport spellings to avoid confusion with *성명 (seongmyeong)*.
