Hi, I found an issue regarding the Korean translation of the Windows 10 search box text ("Type here to search").

 

While the current translation ("검색하려면 여기에 입력하십시오.") is not awkward, it seems to be too long.

When I enable Search Highlights in Windows 10, an illustration shows up inside the search box.

Sadly, the illustration covers the part of the search box text("오."), which is a bit annoying.

I believe shortening the translation like below may help dealing with this problem.

 

Current translation : 검색하려면 여기에 입력하십시오.

Suggested translation : 검색하려면 여기 입력하세요.

English text : Type here to search

 

* Korean Localization Style Guide also recommends the use of "~세요" instead of "~십시오". See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/globalization/localization/ministyleguides/mini-style-guide-korean .

 

Thanks,

Hi @Braunbrot 

Thanks for the suggestion. I have shared with the Korean Localisation team.
