Hire the Best Linguistics Specialists
in Turkey

I am an English–Turkish Translation and Localization Specialist and Ph.D. linguist with more than 25 years of professional experience. I work as a freelance translator for international clients, language service providers, and AI companies, while also serving as an Assistant Professor in the Department of English Translation and Interpreting at Ankara Hacı Bayram Veli University, where I have taught translation studies, localization, CAT tools, and MTPE at the Master's and Ph.D. levels for over fifteen years. My portfolio includes eight published book translations, among them White House Years by Henry Kissinger and Money Men by Dan McCrum, as well as edited bilingual publications such as Summer with Grandpa / Büyükbabayla Yaz and the Interactive English–Turkish Dictionary with Pictures. Across every project, I deliver accurate, natural, and publication-ready translations, with consistent terminology and a final quality-assurance pass on each file. Having lived in Toronto and London for several years, I bring native-like command of English alongside my native Turkish, together with the intercultural awareness to keep each translation culturally on point. I combine traditional translation expertise with modern localization and language technology workflows, including software, website, and video game localization, machine translation post-editing (MTPE), language quality evaluation (LQE), linguistic QA, translation quality assessment, terminology management, AI language training, prompt evaluation, bilingual language evaluation, and linguistic annotation. I work fluently in leading CAT tools, including SDL Trados Studio, memoQ, Phrase, Smartcat, Wordfast Pro, and Xbench, and adapt quickly to new workflows and QA processes.
