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 classic translation with the skills modern language teams rely on: localization, machine translation post-editing (MTPE), language quality evaluation (LQE), linguistic QA, terminology management, and AI language training, prompt 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. Domains: • AI training and UI/UX content • Landing pages • Technical and mechanical documentation • Medical and pedagogical materials • Literature materials • Financial and marketing content • E-commerce platforms • Website localization Whether the task is a single document or a large-scale multilingual project, I deliver high-quality work on time and build long-term professional relationships with the clients and partners I work with.
