Example 1: Honorific exchange—Original: “사장님, 죄송합니다.” Literal English: “President/boss, I’m sorry.” Hindi Dub: Use “साहब” or “महाशय” with a respectful verb form, depending on the boss’s social standing in the scene.
Example 2: Family term—Korean “언니/오빠” indicates sibling plus age relationship. English subtitle: “older sister/older brother” or simply “sister/brother” with a brief note if needed; Hindi dub: “दीदी/भाई” if natural, but preserve realism if characters wouldn’t use those exact terms in Korean—often neutral “बहन/भाई” works.
Example 3: Idioms—If a Korean idiom doesn’t translate: substitute a Hindi idiom with the same emotional weight, not the literal wording.
