Korean translators wanted
|
This article summarizes some causes for the poor availability of Korean literature in English. These problems are mirrored in most countries.
|
Here's something hopeful however,
The Korea Literature Translation Institute has big ambitions on the Internet, starting with a database of all previously translated literary works, which will include notes on the authors and works in both English and Korean and will open at the end of the year. Dubbed the "virtual library of Korean literature," the full text of translated works, including those that are now out of print, should be available online sometime next year, according to Marie Han, the Institute librarian. An online audio library of poems and short stories with readings in both Korean and the target language should also be completed next year.
