- What is the difference between Turkish translation and Turkish localization? Translation converts content from one language to another. Localization adapts it for a specific market. For Turkish digital content, this means SEO keyword research in Turkish rather than translated English keywords, character encoding for Turkish-specific characters (İ/i, ğ, ş, ç, â), text expansion handling in fixed-width UI components, and content restructuring for Turkish user expectations. Translation is one part of localization, however adaptation is the whole.
- What Turkish-specific technical issues affect software and apps? Two issues affect almost every Turkish software localization project. First, text expansion. Turkish is agglutinative and UI strings are often 20-30% longer than their English source, breaking fixed-width buttons, labels, and menus. Second, the i/İ vs ı/I distinction. Turkish has four variants of the letter i that must be handled correctly in character encoding, case conversion functions, and database sorting. Errors at this level cause broken search, incorrect alphabetical sorting, and display failures across the app.
- Do you localize games into Turkish? Yes. We worked with HI-REZ Studios for four years: 48 monthly localization cycles, over 1 million words across SMITE and Paladins. Turkish game localization requires dedicated glossaries built over production cycles, terminology consistency across patches and updates, and cultural adaptation of character names, lore, and in-game dialogue. We maintain active Turkish game localization glossaries from this work.
- Do you handle Turkish App Store and Google Play localization? Yes. App Store and Google Play descriptions require original keyword research in Turkish, the terms Turkish users search for in app stores differ significantly from translated English keywords. We localize app store descriptions, metadata, and screenshot copy for Turkish market visibility and conversion.
- Do you work with LSPs on Turkish localization? Yes. More than half of our Turkish localization volume comes from other LSPs. We work inside your tools, under your brand, NDA as standard. We adapt to your sprint cadence and release schedule without requiring changes to your existing workflow.
- What file formats do you support for Turkish software localization? We work with all standard software localization file formats: strings, XML, JSON, RESX, PO, YAML, XLIFF, and others. Files are delivered in the same format as received, with Turkish character encoding verified throughout.
- Which languages do you cover? Turkish is our founding pair, active since 2002. Around it we work across 40+ languages including German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Polish, Romanian, Turkish, Arabic and Greek. Products needing several pairs at once run through a single point of contact, with shared glossaries and string-level terminology across every version.

We work in Trados and memoQ, or in the client's own translation system, with client-specific translation memories and glossaries maintained across every project. AI drafts are produced with the whole document in view, not sentence by sentence through a machine translation API, so terminology, cross-references and tone hold from the first page to the last. We are not tied to one model: we test models on your own sample files. A named specialist reviews and approves every output. → How we manage projects |
