The post You can now translate English to Korean on Japanese chat app LINE! appeared first on e27.English to Korean: Clinical Trial Protocol On the other hand, while checking for similar apps for such a service, there does not seem to be any of the sort on WeChat or KakaoTalk.

By using a niche offering to target a smaller but more engaged crowd, Rakuten, too, has been able to send direct messages to users and post on their timelines like StarHub. With a timeline feature, StarHub has been able to post humorous memes and comics which relate to its cable TV offerings. In terms of official accounts, Singaporean telco StarHub is one example of a great company that uses social media to reach out to its key audience. However, I do think that such cultural challenges can only be picked up by human translation, like Conyac and Fliplingo. While testing the official account with a Korean friend of mine, he shared that the language in itself is a bit tricky, as there are polite and casual versions of saying or writing certain things. After all, it is much easier to open a browser on a laptop with a chat app running in the background, than on a phone. Although LINE is available on desktop platforms, I believe that most of its users will rather use the tool on the mobile platform instead.

The official account, ENG-KOR translator, is new, but LINE had previously launched two other official accounts for CHINESE-JAPANESE and ENG-JAPANESE translation purposes. Also Read: Waygo raises US$900K to better translate Asian languages to English
