I thought it would be interesting to see if we could translate the DarkSpace website into Korean, unfortunately, due to my total incomprehension of the Korean language, I am having to rely on online translators.
There is a serious point to this, as lkorea has a very large gaming population, and having a Korean translated site would be a step towards attracting some of the market.
Anyway, back to the topic...
So... here is my attempt.
Korean Website TRanslation
I was impressed! It looks good and almost authentically Korean, other than the obvious bits which wont translate....
Now for the real challenge, lets bring it back to english....
this is where the difficult comes in. If you cannot understand the text when translated back to english, the chances are that they will not understand it either....
Lets start with a simple body the text... the introduction...

Due to a UPS problem, one of our primary servers went down this morning. The time and date on this server got reset to an incorrect value. This caused the subscription system to email many players informing them that their subscription had ended.
We have already addressed the incorrect date on the server; feel assured that any billing issues will be resolved immediately.

Use a human translator
The wording was probably slightly better as English>Korean than English>Korean>English, so maybe the Korean version isn't that bad...
But then again...
Maybe it's completely unintelligible
