번역표기의 일관성과 로마자표기

Abstract

Translation is the communication of the meaning of a source-language text by means of an equivalent target-language text between each other different languages. At this moment a writing method of proper noun is considered preferentially. Because if the writing of same proper noun are not unity under translators, the readers could not recognized the identity of the meaning of proper noun in the source-language. In this paper, I surveyed the writer's name written in literary works which translated into foreign language from Korean. As a result of that survey, I found all of the writer's name was written in many different ways. So it was very worried about to confuse the identity of those writers for foreign readers. The rule that is applied to translate foreign languages into Korean is <Loanword orthography of Korean> and the rule that is applied to translate Korean into Foreign languages is <Romanization of Korean>. The reason why that these rules were established national standard by the nation is to avoid the confusion from the differentiality of writing proper noun. So to ensure the consistency of Korean Culture by a process to translate it into foreign languages, I supposed three opinions as follow 1) decide standard romanization form about place name and cultural properties name 2) respect individual name of person or company etc. 3) reinforcement the necessity of consistency to translator.
