Obviously, both apps offer translation in significantly more situations than the ones listed below and the results you experience when actually using the app may differ compared to the results we found.Īnyone who has been traveling in a foreign country likely knows about the struggle of finding new things. While hand signals can often be used, wouldn't it be great if the app could provide an accurate translation for you when asking for directions? Korean company Naver also provide a translation app. It is called Papago and is very similar to Google Translate. While it offers fewer language pairings, as it is made by a Korean company, would that suggest that it will be able to translate to and from Korean more accurately than Google?

If you live in Korea but don't speak Korean, there are likely to be many occasions where the help of an accurate translation would be really useful. After putting both apps to the test in everyday situations, we found that the app translation services from the two technology giants offer genuinely impressive translation services that are likely to be very useful for people in Korea who don't speak Korea.
