Core Services and Expertise
LingoTurk offers a diverse portfolio of linguistic services that span the full spectrum of translation and localization needs. These services are typically categorized by the delivery method or the subject matter specialization.
1. Written Translation Services (Terc?me Hizmetleri)
This is the foundation of LingoTurk?s business, focusing on the accurate conversion of text-based documents across various language pairs, often dealing with over 1,000,000 words per day according to some operational metrics.
Document Translation: Handling general business correspondence, reports, presentations, and personal documents.
Certified/Sworn Translation (Yeminli Terc?me): A critical service in Turkey, this involves translations of legal, official, and academic documents (such as diplomas, transcripts, marriage certificates, contracts, and power of attorney documents) that must be certified by a sworn translator (Yeminli Terc?man) and, in many cases, notarized by a public notary (Noter) to be legally valid for government or international submission.
Specialized Translation: Providing linguists who possess specific industry knowledge to ensure technical accuracy across complex domains:
Technical Translation: User manuals, engineering specifications, product descriptions, safety data sheets (SDS), and technical reports.
Medical Translation: Patient records, pharmaceutical research, clinical trials documentation, and medical device manuals.
Financial Translation: Annual reports, auditing documents, prospectuses, and economic analyses.
2. Localization and Globalization Services
LingoTurk assists companies in adapting their products and content to resonate culturally and functionally with the target market, going beyond mere linguistic translation.
Web Localization: Full translation and cultural adaptation of website content, user interfaces, marketing copy, and metadata to ensure relevance and improve search engine optimization (SEO) in the target country.
Software Localization: Adapting the user interface (UI), strings, help files, and accompanying documentation for software applications, ensuring correct display, date/time formats, currency, and cultural appropriateness.

Adaptation of visual elements like logos and letterheads for different cultures.
3. Interpreting Services (S?zl? Terc?me)
Providing real-time language conversion for oral communication in professional settings.
Simultaneous Interpretation: Used for large conferences, international summits, and major events where the translation is delivered instantly while the speaker is talking, requiring specialized equipment (booths, headsets).
Consecutive Interpretation: Used for smaller meetings, business negotiations, training sessions, or legal depositions, where the interpreter speaks after the source language speaker has finished a segment.
4. Language Consultancy and Corporate Solutions
LingoTurk offers bespoke solutions for its enterprise clients, particularly those with high-volume, ongoing translation needs.
Corporate Monthly Contracted Services (Kurumsal Aylık S?zleşmeli Terc?me Hizmeti): Offering corporate clients a contract-based service model for continuous, high-volume translation work. This provides guaranteed capacity, streamlined invoicing, and potentially discounted rates for predictable language needs.
Language Consulting: Advising clients on the best strategies for managing multilingual content, choosing appropriate terminology, and maintaining brand voice across different languages and cultural contexts.
Terminology Management: Assisting clients in creating and maintaining consistent glossaries and term bases, which are crucial for technical and legal consistency, especially in collaboration with Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) tools.
Operational Model and Quality Assurance
LingoTurk leverages a network of professional, in-country linguists who are subject-matter experts. The standard workflow typically involves:
Project Analysis: Initial assessment of the source material, domain, language pair, and complexity.
Assignment: Matching the project to certified, specialized translators.
Translation and Editing: The core translation process, often utilizing CAT tools for consistency and speed.
