Translation Guidelines
Keep Proper Nouns in Original
Mod names and unique item names (e.g., Mekanism, Botania) should be kept in their original form without translation.
Follow Official In-Game Translations
For terms that have official translations in vanilla Minecraft, follow the official translation.
Follow Loanword Standards
When transliterating English terms into Korean, follow the National Institute of Korean Language loanword transcription standards.
Context-Appropriate Translation
The same word may be translated differently depending on context. For example, 'Charge' can mean 'charging', 'rushing', or 'cost' depending on the situation.
