Is AdSense available for Korean pages?

I have a site that for some reason gets nearly half it's traffic from a Koran search engine (Naver.com), even though there is no Korean text on the site.

As a courtesy for a while I had a link to a Korean translation vis Babelfish. Due to the increase in traffic to the site, I've started displaying AdSense on the pages, and as a safety precaution remove the translation link until I can determine if AdSense is allowed on Korean pages. Viewing a few test pages with the Korean translation didn't seem to show valid ads, perhaps due to geographic targetting (I'm in U.S. and not Korea)?

So my questions are:

1) Is AdSense allowed on Korean pages, specifically those that are auto-translated through Babelfish?

2) Would the (possible) drop in conversions due to poor translation cause a problem?

Adsense is allowed on Korean pages. However, I caution against using babelfish as the translations are horrible. Machines still cannot do a good job of it.

John, do you want to sticky me with the URL?
I can read and speak Korean and check out the translation for you. I was wondering if those auto translation ever work. :)
