<DIV></DIV>>I also do lots of translating and editing and face the same problem.
<DIV></DIV>>One thing that helps is to use spaces to break such monstrosities
<DIV></DIV>>apart. Strategically placed hyphens also help. Just because the
<DIV></DIV>>Korean might have been all strung together as though it were a
<DIV></DIV>>single word (actually there is a trend away from this these days),
<DIV></DIV>>that doesn't mean the translator/editor has to be a slave to the
<DIV></DIV>>original. To take your longest example, this would be preferable:
