The introduction of Korean Foods' flavors and tastes to the world : Centered on the translation of 105 kinds of Korean Foods' names into Chinese

In 1998 the Korean National Tourism Organization published a book called“Foreign Language Notation of Korean Food Names in Korean Restaurants(English, Japanese, Chinese)”, which is very desirable for Korea since Korea is the host country of 2002 World Cup Games. This study is to analyze the characteristics of 105 kinds of Korean Foods listed in the book stated above and their differences from Chinese foods through the cultural comparison of the names of Korean foods and their translations into Chinese. In doing so, we can develop a criterion and methods from the viewpoints of the consumers(Chinese tourists) that help coin food names that can attract the consumers without damaging the cultural image of the Korean foods and help introduce the flavors and tastes of Korean Foods to the world.
