Talk:Web compatibility issues in South Korea

Untitled
I translated Web compatibility issues in South Korea, based on a published article on Korean Wikipedia, addressing the same concern. As a native speaker of Korean, I have translated the article best of my ability, with some help with Google Translator for vocabularies. Although it does not require cultural background, it was challenging with technical terminologies included in this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Icherishyou (talk • contribs) 22:48, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

Notes on updating
I just learned about this phenomenon and was happy to see an article about it. Googling `south korea activex` returns some newer English-language sources which might help update it. There's also the existing Wikipedia article on SEED, the cipher that was mandated in 1999, kicking off the whole ActiveX dependency. When I have some time I might try to at least write a new up-to-date intro. (Something like, "From 1999 to around 2015, a law mandating the use of the SEED cipher in South Korea meant that all e-commerce in the country required an ActiveX plugin only available in Internet Explorer," etc.) I also might suggest retitling the article something more specific like "Internet Explorer in South Korea". It's possible it should be rolled into a "Legacy" or "Effect on e-commerce" section of the SEED article, but there's a ton here, so idk.
