One of the authors of this study has engaged in the research of ‘Multilingual Word Translation Service based on Word Semantic Analysis’ for multicultural families since 2016. The research aimed to develop a web- and an application-based multilingual translation service which provides advanced Korean vocabulary used in school newsletters for married female immigrants. For the research, the data, consisting of word pairs, of the Multilingual Learners' Dictionary was provided by the National Institute of Korean Language. However, the Korean-Chinese pairs have not been completed yet. So, with the data for the Korean-Chinese translation dictionary transferred from the ETRI, the Korean-Chinese word translation web service started as a pilot operation. In this regard, this study presents the details of the multilingual translation web service, including the purpose, main users, and design principles. In addition, the study compares ETRI Korean-Chinese Translation Dictionary with Multilingual Learners' Dictionary in terms of structure, translation strategy, and process, and proposed ways to improve the web service.
