Regulation and compliance

One Turkish term for each concept a new rule brings, in every compliance document

A new regulation often brings concepts that Turkish has no settled name for yet, and your Turkish compliance documents have to use them anyway. We settle the Turkish term for each concept first, with the reasoning on record, then translate your compliance documents to match. Your teams, your advisers and anyone reviewing the documents read the same words.

New rules, new concepts

  • Rules first, Turkish later

    When a rule takes effect, its new concepts often have no agreed Turkish names yet, but compliance documents use them from the start.

  • Written in another language

    EU and international rules are written in other languages first, and a Turkish compliance document has to give each of their concepts a Turkish name.

What goes wrong without settled Turkish terms

  • One obligation, several names

    If one section of a report names an obligation one way and an annex another, readers have to ask whether the two mean the same thing.

  • Teams and advisers out of step

    When in-house teams, advisers and reviewers each use their own Turkish word for a concept, it takes longer to see they are discussing the same thing.

  • Every report starts over

    Without a record of the decisions, the same concepts get debated again each time a new report is prepared.

What we do for your compliance work

  1. A glossary built from the rule

    We pick out the concepts in the rule and in your compliance documents, settle their Turkish equivalents and record why. The decisions go into a glossary and a termbase.

  2. One term across every document

    Your compliance documents are translated from that record, so a concept reads the same in the report and in its annexes.

  3. Decisions you can review

    Each record shows whether a term is our proposal and why we chose it, and we update it as usage changes.

One term, in a compliance document

Here is one of our approved records, “emission”, in a reporting document: the same Turkish word in the heading and in the text.

All term records

  • Text

    Karbon salımı

    sera gazı salımı

    salım

English Context
Climate and air quality: greenhouse gas emissions, exhaust emissions from vehicles.
Reasoning
“Emisyon” only borrows the sound. “Salım”, from salmak (to release), tells Turkish readers what actually happens.
