Korean to Japanese: what changes

Japanese text usually runs about 20% shorter than the source, so the translated file ends up more compact.

Japanese does not separate words with spaces, so volume is counted in characters rather than words.

What makes translation into Japanese harder:

the honorific system colours every line and encodes character relationships
the verb moves to the end of the clause, restructuring word order entirely
plurality is not marked grammatically and must be recovered from context
subjects are frequently dropped and inferred from context
sentences run long, with several nested clauses

What makes the Korean original harder to read

Difficulty comes from the source language as much as the target. Here is what has to be untangled in Korean text:

The original does not separate words with spaces, so phrase boundaries have to be recovered algorithmically — and that determines where the text is cut into translation segments.
Korean originals are more compact than most languages: one character carries more meaning, so a short page can expand into a noticeably longer translation.
honorific suffixes encode relationships between characters; ignoring them strips a layer of meaning from dialogue
the verb sits at the end, so the meaning of a sentence only resolves at the last word
politeness level is grammatically encoded and has to be recognised to keep the register right
the subject is often omitted, so who is acting has to be inferred from preceding sentences
