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 files and timed two-column voice-over scripts ready for the studio, and we also translate plain text and documents whenever a project calls for it, from corporate reports to marketing copy, technical material and eLearning courses.

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 any brand-name vowel-harmony checks needed all move the delivery date, and your dedicated project manager will confirm a realistic timeline with you at the very start of the project brief.
