Turkish translation services

Turkish translation is priced per word for text and per minute for audiovisual, depending on volume, subject matter and turnaround, with any brand-name vowel-harmony checks included as part of the brief rather than billed as an extra step.

Yes. Native Turkish linguists handle every translation, and a second native linguist independently reviews each text, confirming that suffix forms and vowel harmony are correct throughout — including on brand names — so the result reads naturally to a Turkish audience from the very first line.

Yes — Turkish translation, subtitling and voice over all come from one team, working to a single glossary and register throughout. Long agglutinated words are planned for from the start, so subtitle line breaks and voice-over pacing never fight against how the language actually forms its words.

Turkish builds words by stacking suffixes onto a root instead of using separate words, so a single Turkish word can carry what an entire English phrase says. The word count usually drops, but the individual words get considerably longer, and long words can't simply be reordered or shortened the way English phrases can.

Every Turkish suffix changes its vowel to match the last vowel in the word it's attached to, including proper nouns and brand names. This is decided by how the name is pronounced, not how it's spelled in English, so we fix the correct form once and keep it consistent across the whole project.

Yes — audiovisual is our specialisation. We deliver spotted SRT/VTT and timed two-column voice-over scripts, plus translated text when you need it.

An English subtitle line can usually wrap at a natural word boundary if it runs long, but a long Turkish agglutinated word often can't be split at all without corrupting it. That means line breaks have to be planned around whole words rather than an even character count, which is a different discipline from subtitling most European languages.

Istanbul Turkish is the standard used across all of Turkey for media, business and official purposes, and it's what we use by default. Cyprus has its own regional accent and some local vocabulary, which we can factor in specifically if your audience is based there.

Most short documents are delivered within 24 to 48 hours. Word count, subject complexity and turnaround all move the date, and your project manager will confirm the timeline at the start.

Less than people expect: the document, script or subtitle file, its word count, what the text is actually for, and the date you need it by. A draft is fine — we would rather quote on what exists than wait for a final version that eats your deadline. A named project manager comes back with an itemised quote, normally within four working hours.

More than half of enquiries get a reply within thirty minutes during office hours (Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm UK time), and the itemised quote normally follows within four working hours. After that you have one dedicated project manager who owns the job from brief to final file — not a ticket queue, and not a different name on every email. If it is easier, call +44 207 095 5730 and ask for them by name.

Yes, and it is one of the commonest reasons people get in touch. Tell us it is for a pitch and you get a figure you can put in front of your own client, itemised so it stands up to being picked apart, with no obligation and no follow-up sales calls if the pitch goes elsewhere. If it lands, the quote still holds and we already know the project.
