Engineering and science
Technical documentation in Turkish where each term means one thing
When your equipment, methods or research reach a Turkish-speaking market, engineers and technicians there read about them in Turkish: in technical documents, manuals, leaflets and training. We settle the Turkish term for each concept first, with the reasoning on record, and translate every document to match. A part named in the manual keeps that name in the training.
New concepts in engineering and science
New equipment, new names
A new material, method or device usually arrives in Turkish inside a manual or a technical document, and its Turkish name is set by that document’s first translation.
Science moves first
New scientific concepts spread before Turkish has settled on names for them, and engineering documents start using them soon after.
What goes wrong without settled Turkish terms
One part, two names
If a part has one name in a technical document and another in the manual, a technician on site can’t be sure they are the same part.
Training and documents drift apart
If the word learned in training isn’t the one in the manual opened on the job, the training doesn’t carry over.
Little room for error
In technical text, a misread word can turn into a part fitted wrongly or a step skipped.
What we do for your field
A glossary for your field
We pick out the names of parts, methods and processes in your documents, settle their Turkish equivalents and record why. The decisions go into a glossary and a termbase.
The same name from document to training
Your technical documents, manuals and training material are translated from that record, so a part keeps one Turkish name everywhere.
Established and proposed, kept apart
Where Turkish has no settled term yet, the record marks ours as a proposal, so your engineers know which names are established.
Products this solution uses
Engineering and science is built on Text, and can add Video for training videos.
One term, in a document and a training video
Here is one of our approved records, “project”, in an engineering document and a training video: the same Turkish word in both.
Text
Yapı tasarısı
tasarı takvimi
Video
tasarı yönetimi
- English Context
- Business and engineering: a construction project, project management, a project schedule.
- Reasoning
- “Proje” only borrows the sound. “Tasarı”, from the same root as tasarlamak (to plan, to think out), names what a project is: work thought out before it is carried out.
