The results revealed how changing Hangul policies have influenced Japanese literary translation: Hangul Only Policy has lowered the ratio in Korean translated texts of Chinese characters marked in parenthesis next to Hangul. In other words, the policy encouraged to use only Hangul in translated texts, in contrast to the past practice of marking Chinese characters in parenthesis next to translated Hangul words. In particular, This tendency is conspicuous in translation of Chinese characters which have the same shapes and similar meaning in both languages. The finding indicates that the Hangul policy has exerted direct influence on the Japanese literary translation.
