online tool for Romanizing Korean names

... In order to help with difficulties in romanizing personal names, I have developed the Korean Name Romanizer, a Windows-based tool that converts Korean names in Korean script into the roman alphabet according to ALA-LC rules. You can freely download the tool on the Princeton EAL website at:
http://eastasianlib.princeton.edu/korroman.htm

(The downloadable file is in .exe format, and some security systems may prevent proper downloading or installation. If this happens, please consult your system technician.)

I acknowledge here gladly the assistance of many Korean librarians who tested the tool and provided helpful feedback, in particular Erica Chang (Univ. of Hawaii) and Jee-young Park (Univ. of Chicago). Please report any errors or further suggestions to me at hyounglat princeton dotedu
