I just noticed that you can search in Korean on Naver without having to have Korean. Go to Naver and type in gksdlftkwjs and you get a Korean-Japanese dictionary. Type it in on Google and you get nothing.

That's cool. Since my computer has Korean, and almost every computer in Korea has Korean input capability, I'm not sure how useful it'll be. But still cool to know.

Phew.

I was wondering what I would do now that I've memorized the hangeul keyboard layout but still refuse to actually use the characters. (Out of principle, you see.)

How do you spell "racing girl" in Korean-English? And what are the exact typing steps on a Dvorak keyboard...?

Naver and Daum - the news sources Netizens can trust. No thanks. But isn't it amazing how many Korean things are things are Number 1, in Korea. They pay you much to start this thread? Wink

Ah, you must mean a reishing geol. That would be...fpdltldrjf. Dvorak doesn't work becuse it becomes ulenynephu and that's all wrong. ulenynephu could never mean racing girl. Rolling Eyes

Well, Naver's pretty good for some things and just about useless for some. Good for finding info on where to go in Korea, what to do tonight, that sort of thing. Really bad for targeted searches. This thread is more on Google's trouble with localizing in Korea though, as it's a pretty tough market to get into.
