Project Summary
Since its inception in 2004, Meta has reshaped communication and daily life, connecting billions globally through platforms like Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Continuously innovating, Meta now enhances lives with technologies such as the metaverse, AI, and virtual reality. To address the diverse needs of its international audience, Meta tailors its localization to each country’s culture.

Challenges
Adapting Meta’s Message for Korean Audiences
Localizing Meta’s content, including Facebook Stories, Instagram Reels, and Meta Quest, involves navigating significant cultural and linguistic differences between English and Korean. These platforms foster vibrant, interest-based communities driven by hashtags and influencers. The challenge lies in maintaining the essence of these interactions while ensuring the content resonates deeply with Korean audiences. Translating nuances accurately requires a profound understanding of Korean culture and careful selection of engaging expressions.
Understanding Meta’s Platform for Accurate Translation
Meta’s marketing materials detail their unique advertising system, covering campaign structure, targeting, budget settings, and objectives. Effective translation demands thorough comprehension of Meta’s platform and its advertising operations, beyond mere terminology. This involves understanding the context and functionality to convey information clearly in Korean, enabling advertisers to utilize Meta’s features effectively.
Enhancing User Experience Through Translation
Translation extends beyond language replacement; it requires conveying meaning with contextual understanding. Meta’s cutting-edge technologies, like VR and AR, push boundaries beyond traditional 2D screens. To maximize these innovations, translated content and instructions must seamlessly integrate with spatial elements and visual design, enhancing the overall user experience.
