Turkish Website Localization Services 


Alafranga has been localizing websites into Turkish since 2002. Turkish is our founding language and still the core of our work.
 
Most projects still run the classic way. You export the content from your CMS, or send us the source files, and we translate them in memoQ or Trados with your translation memory and glossary. The work is done by Turkish specialists who research keywords in Turkish rather than translating them from English, and who know that Turkish runs longer than English in navigation labels, buttons and meta titles. Files come back ready to import, with a final check on the live or staging site.
 
For sites that change every week, we can build the process instead of repeating it. We connect your CMS or repository to a translation platform such as Smartcat or Phrase, or to an open-source system on your own server, so that new and changed content is picked up automatically, drafted with AI under your glossary and checked for broken tags and length before a Turkish specialist reviews it. Nothing is published without that approval.

▮Why Turkish Websites Need Specialist Localization
Turkish web users search differently than European markets. Keywords that work for "technical solutions" or "industrial equipment" in English don't translate directly to Turkish search intent. Turkish users search with different word combinations, informal language patterns, and region-specific terminology.

Turkish also has distinct technical requirements:
  • Character set complexity: Dotted İ/i variants, circumflex characters (â, î, û), cedilla (ç), breve (ğ, ş)
  • Text expansion: Turkish sentences are typically 15-20% longer than English
  • URL handling: Turkish characters in slugs require proper encoding
  • Search behavior: Informal vs formal language preferences differ by sector

Translation tools and AI workflow
Tools and AI, under our control

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.
