Translation Approach

<!-- Korean SEO Template -->
<title>[Korean Page Title] | Hack23 사이버보안 컨설팅</title>
<meta name="description" content="[Korean description with K-ISMS, PIPA keywords - 150-160 chars]">
<meta name="keywords" content="사이버보안, 정보보호관리체계, K-ISMS 인증, 개인정보보호법, PIPA, 보안 정책, 위험 관리, 데이터 보호, 접근 통제, 사고 대응, 취약점 관리, 암호화 정책, 클라우드 보안, DevSecOps, 규정 준수, 보안 아키텍처, 보안 교육, 보안 지표, 위협 모델링">

<!-- Open Graph Korean -->
<meta property="og:title" content="[Korean Title]">
<meta property="og:description" content="[Korean Description]">
<meta property="og:locale" content="ko_KR">

<!-- Twitter Card Korean -->
<meta name="twitter:title" content="[Korean Title]">
<meta name="twitter:description" content="[Korean Description]">
</html>

Step 2: Content Translation Completion

• Review all 96 files for English placeholders
• Translate remaining English content using Korean-Translation-Guide.md v6.0
• Apply K-ISMS and PIPA terminology consistently
• Ensure professional B2B Korean tone
• Cultural adaptation where needed (Korean National Assembly for CIA project)

Step 3: Terminology Verification
Use Korean-Translation-Guide.md v6.0 standardized terms:

• Cybersecurity → 사이버보안
• Information Security → 정보보안

• Risk Assessment → 위험 평가
• Incident Response → 사고 대응
• Access Control → 접근 통제
• Vulnerability Management → 취약점 관리
• Data Protection → 데이터 보호
• K-ISMS → K-ISMS 인증
• PIPA → 개인정보보호법

Step 4: Quality Validation

# Check for English content in Korean pages
grep -rn "security\|management\|policy\|risk" *_ko.html | grep -v "ko\"" | head -20

# Validate meta tags completeness
grep -A 3 '<meta name="keywords"' *_ko.html | grep -v "ko" | head -10

# Check og:locale
grep 'og:locale' *_ko.html | grep -v "ko_KR"

# Validate Schema.org inLanguage
grep 'inLanguage' *_ko.html | grep -v '"ko"'
