일본 공공번역의 한국어 오류분석 - 일본 정부기관의 한국어 표준 번역안(案)을 중심으로 -

Abstract

In the 20th century, conference interpretation and translation were used as models. On the other hand, the importance of community interpretation and public translation has been growing in the 21st century. This study tries to find the answers to the questions “What are the translation standards for public translation?" and “How does the Korean language appear in translation, suggested by the public translation in Japan?” First, we reviewed the public translation standards used in Japan, and examined what they are used for and the types of situations they are used in. Also we came up with some suggestions for public translation policies in Korea. In Japan, one of the main goals of public translation is to provide information for foreign residents and tourists, especially in the event of a disaster. Secondly, I re-examined 1,313 Korean translation standards from 4 guidelines by the Japanese government ministries, and found 677 errors on 501 items. Then we categorized them into 6 error types: type of vocabulary used, word definitions, sentence composition, pragmatic equivalence, unification and standardization errors. In addition, we analyzed them based on the view of translation studies, and prepared amendments. Through these reviews and analysis, we have concluded that there is a need for careful development of translation policies that consider immigrants and tourists, standardize Korean public translation, and expand the scope of domestic language policy to the whole world.
