문화유산 안내판 해설문
As the lead editor of the Korean Cultural Heritage English Interpretive Text Compilation Team at the Center for Digital Humanities at the Academy of Korean Studies, I have personally edited, translated, and/or written over 5,000 interpretive texts for information panels at historic sites across South Korea. Based in a digital humanities philosophy of making knowledge accessible, our work is available for viewing on our MediaWiki website, which also serves as our translation platform.
Unlike typical translation companies, our team at AKS does not simply translate the Korean text into English but rather compiles a new text that takes into consideration the background knowledge and interests of foreign audiences. This process includes additional research to ensure that the content is accurate.
Below, I have included links to our team’s website so you can explore our work.
