Korean to English academic translation, beside the original.
Upload a paper written in Korean. Read the English beside it, block by block, and export the Word file when the English says what you meant.
Read closely
Where Korean to English needs a careful read.
These are the places a fluent translation can still miss the meaning. Tolayda puts each Korean paragraph beside its English, so they are checked where they happen, and a click on the English corrects it.
Long modifiers
Korean puts everything that describes a noun before it, however long. In English it becomes a clause after the noun, and the order of ideas changes.
Words that sound the same
Many terms come from Chinese characters, and one sound can carry several. 전기 can be electricity, a biography, or the first half of a period. The context decides, so check the term.
Hedged endings
것으로 보인다 and 판단된다 are routine ways to report a result. Translated literally they can make a clear finding sound tentative.
Dropped subjects
Korean often leaves out who did something when it is clear. English needs a subject, which in a methods section usually means a passive.
Questions.
Can I translate a Korean thesis or dissertation into English?
Yes, as a Word file (.docx), a PDF, or a LaTeX file (.tex). It works with a free student account (.ac.uk email) or your university's Tolayda licence. A licensed institution sets a limit on the size of a paper.
Will my headings and tables survive?
Translation works block by block. Headings, paragraphs, figure captions, and table cells keep their place in the English, and the Word file keeps its own name.
Can my supervisor read the English?
Yes. Share a read-only link with a lecturer. While that link is open the paper is locked, so what they read is what you left in place.
Does Tolayda certify the translation?
No. Tolayda assists the work. Scholarly review, copy-editing, and any official certification stay with the people responsible for them.
