Nowadays you'd just ask an LLM to read through those Korean emails.

And you could never be sure it indeed found the needle in the haystack.

Well if it turned something up you can just check the document yourself.

What you can’t be sure of is if it claims there is nothing interesting.

False positives are fine for this use case.

But false negatives would not have been, and you don’t have the luxury of choice. Even if the LLM had highlighted twenty matches, there’s no guarantee the one good one would be in there, it might just as well have made twenty false positives.

"Check yourself" as in hire a translator who reads Korean, then check the output of those yourself.

I think that’s within reach of many non-tiny companies. You don’t need to hire someone full time – technical translation work is a service you can already pay for.
