What R resources are there to romanise Korean place names? The places in question are administrative areas, from regions down to city districts.

It could take the form of a gazetteer listing place names in both hangul and Roman scripts or it could take the form of a hangul to Roman converter.

    Have you tried either stri_trans_general or stringi?

  • @Taras stri_trans_general goes some of the way but does not seem to provide the official Revised Romanization of Korean, e.g. "종로구 사직동" converts to "jongLogu sajiGdong" instead of "jongNogu sajiKdong."

    I think you'll get more accurate answers on Stackoverflow and I don't see a GIS problem here.

  • @J._Monticolo The question may not be entirely solvable algorithmically, in case some official romanisations are customary/irregular, hence the suggestion of a gazetteer.
