Re: Ada & Zangemann book in Korean

Hello Everyone
Here's my update on Ada & Zangemann Korean book.

I received an email from Matthias who kindly answered my question. Thanks
Matthias.

I sent out proposals to several publishers in this week. But I haven't
receive reply yet.

I'm considering changing Korand's name to 'Byung-woo Kong', '공병우' in Korean.
He is famous as a person who led the mechanization and computerization of
Hangul, Korean Language.

More about Mr. Kong :
https://en.namu.wiki/w/%EA%B3%B5%EB%B3%91%EC%9A%B0

The main reason for choosing 'Byung-woo' is beacause it is a common name in
Korea.

The Korand's hair color change to black has not yet been decided.
I decided to change Konrad hair color to black.
If Konrad's name is changed to Korean name, the black hair indicates that
he is an Asian boy.

Anyway I watched your animation video and it was really good.
I wish there was a a Korean translation as well.

Here's download link for Korean pdf.
If you can help me to proof-read, please let me know.

Best regards,
Ki-hyun

>>
>> https://git.fsfe.org/FSFE/ada-zangemann/src/branch/main/Translation-Guidelines.md
>>
>> Names: Ada, Zangemann, Alan must not to be changed. The other names are
