Software and apps
Ship in Turkish with one set of terms across your interface, help center and tutorials
Turkish users meet your product in more places than the app itself: in your help center, your documentation and your tutorial videos. We settle the Turkish term for each concept in your product first, then translate the interface, the help pages and the tutorial subtitles to match. It works the same for end-user software, custom-built systems, apps and operating systems.
New concepts arrive faster than Turkish settles them
Every feature brings a name
When you launch a feature, you usually name it too. That name is born in English, and its first Turkish version often comes from whoever translates the release.
AI and other fast-moving fields
In fields such as AI, new concepts reach Turkish users before Turkish has agreed on a word for them.
Borrowed words stick
If no Turkish term is settled, the English word or a sound-alike goes into the interface, and users get used to it there.
What goes wrong without settled Turkish terms
Different teams, different words
Product, documentation and video teams often work separately. Without a shared termbase, each picks its own Turkish word for the same feature.
Search comes up empty
Users search your help center for the word they saw on screen. If the help page uses another word, they don’t find the answer.
Customers and support talk past each other
When customers use one word and your support team another, it takes longer to see they mean the same thing.
What we do for your product
One glossary for the whole product
We look at the concepts in your interface, help pages and tutorials together, settle their Turkish equivalents and record why. The decisions go into a glossary and a termbase.
Three translations, one source
Your interface text, help pages and tutorial subtitles are translated from that one record, so each concept has the same Turkish name in all three.
Room to grow
As your product grows, new concepts join the record and earlier decisions stay put. Terms with no settled Turkish yet are marked as our proposals.
Products this solution uses
Software and apps is built on Interface, and usually adds Text for help pages and documentation and Video for tutorials.
One term, across your product
Here is one of our approved records, “agent”, in an AI product’s interface, help page and tutorial: the same Turkish word in all three.
Interface
Text
Eylemciler
yapay zeka eylemcisi
Video
eylemci
- English Context
- Software and AI: an AI agent, a program that carries out tasks on a user’s behalf.
- Reasoning
- An agent is whoever acts. In Turkish, “ajan” suggests a spy, while “eylemci”, from eylem (action), keeps the meaning.
