While living in Korea, I would often have moments where not knowing the language was an inconvenience. Mostly I was able to get by with just English, hand motions and a willingness to be ignorant. The above jpg was a godsend whenever I received an 'all staff' message or had bought a product with only Hangul on it. It was also handy for deciphering notes from my students or random characters left on chairs and desks.This jpg was my desktop image for my entire stay in Korea. Luckily at work I was outfitted with a keyboard that had both the English alphabet and the Hangul characters on each key.
If you're in Korea and want to be able to type words into Google Translate but need a Hangul guide, the above will be a lifesaver. Short of painting the characters onto your keyboard by hand, or buying a laptop in Korea, this is your only option. You'll first need to download the Korean language pack for Windows 7.(Which can be found here). Once you've got that installed you can alternate between typing in English or typing in Hangul by using a convenient hot key.
Obviously online translators are only as good as the grammar used to construct the sentence you're trying to translate, but they are usually spot on for single words!
