Korean Localization & Linguistic QA | Fintech, Ad Copy, Ecommerce SEO

I translate and review English to Korean for teams that already run a process: a TMS, a glossary, a style guide, and someone who will check my work. My main line right now is a forex broker. Tasks arrive as Crowdin jobs: marketing site pages, client-cabinet and web-trading UI strings, partner emails, loyalty-program terms. Twenty-plus tasks and more than ten thousand words since mid-September, each one run against the project TM and glossary. When the glossary and the live Korean site disagreed, I flagged the term once on the string with a one-line reason instead of quietly picking a side. Eight of those flags went into the client's revised glossary. I use retail FX platforms myself (MT4/MT5, account verification, deposits and withdrawals), so requote, swap-free and margin level get the Korean a trader actually uses. The second line is Korean ad copy. Naver Powerlink and Meta campaigns for hospitality brands, written inside the character limits, with an English note on each choice so a team that does not read Korean can still approve it. Same client, four contracts so far. The third line is reviewing what AI produced. Korean speech transcripts checked against the audio, word-level timestamps from forced alignment, and English to Korean model output reviewed for lost or added meaning. Each ran on the client's own platform and guidelines. I learn the tool and work to the spec. What stays the same across all of it: - TM matches followed as-is; conflicts flagged once, at first occurrence - Korean that reads as written in Korean, with one honorific level across every screen - Established industry terms over dictionary ones - Notes in English, short enough to act on I also do ecommerce SEO and publish it myself: twenty-three Shopify pages for one store, each with a content-score target in the contract, every one past target and live with internal links and alt text. Twenty-six milestones paid on a contract that is still running. Send me a sample string file or a 300-word page and I will return it with my choices explained before you commit to anything.
