ISO 17100 Translation Services Management System

Nowadays, the harmonization with the European Union continues and the developments in the field of translation services and translation are an important issue for our country. Translation works are briefly the needs of all those who work in cultural and social fields, from businessmen to athletes, diplomats to foreign trade representatives, to employees of public or private organizations representing the interests of our country abroad. In the increasingly globalized world, with the disappearance of borders, relations between countries have increased and consequently the importance of the translation profession has increased.

The rapid developments in the field of technology in our country and the increasing density in technology transfer, import and exportation made the need for quality translation more important. The need for translation has become even more important, especially in areas such as technical, legal and medical fields that require continuous use of new concepts and terms. This translation requirement is met by translators, freelance translators, translation firms and translation agencies employed by public or private organizations.

Translation education in our country first started in 1993 at the Department of English Translation and Interpretation, which was opened at Boğaziçi University. The following year, he began accepting students in the Department of English Translation and Interpreting at Hacettepe University in Ankara. Following this, similar departments were opened in other universities. Today, over twenty universities offer translation training in English, German, French, Arabic, Chinese and Russian.

Importance of Translation Services

The main task of the translators is to translate written texts, literary works, scientific articles, political, legal, economic, technical and similar works, newspapers and journals into another language without disturbing the integrity of meaning and the accuracy of expression. Translation services are also used to convey mutual or unilateral conversations without disturbing meaning and integrity.

In this respect, translators need to have a high level of general academic and verbal skills, have the power of reading comprehension and memory, be interested in foreign languages ​​and cultures, and be willing and patient.

There are provisions in many legal arrangements in order to ensure the smooth running of translation services. For example, it is a criminal offense to be an expert or an interpreter who is untrue in terms of criminal law. In the case of the civil procedure law, if it is understood that the expert or interpreter has deliberately made false statements, this is considered the reason for the extradition of the proceedings.

Translation Agencies and Services in Our Country

Translators usually open their own private offices. The services provided by translation agencies are as follows:

  • Written translation services: commercial translation, academic translation, legal translation, technical translation, medical translation, control translation, certified translation, notary certified translation
  • Interpreting services: simultaneous translation, consecutive translation, reciprocal translation
  • Multimedia translation services
  • Website translation services
  • Transcription services

The number of translation offices has increased rapidly as the companies in our country have turned to foreign markets more. The number of registered offices exceeds one thousand. If unregistered offices are added, this number is approximately seven thousand. The increase in the number of Russian and Chinese translators was especially influential in this increase. The financial size of the translation sector is thought to exceed 200 million dollars.

Today, there are many difficulties in the profession of translation, such as the lack of a professional chamber for private sector translators, the lack of professional standards and legal regulations determining the proficiency of the profession, and the difficulties posed by translators' dependence on the Notary Public.

However, in the case of European Union countries, for example, in the UK, translators must have a university degree and then have passed an interpreting exam in which translation skills are measured. However, with the diploma obtained from the institute, the profession of translation can be done. There are no translation exams in France, but a work permit is required. In Germany, in accordance with the legal regulations issued by each state, the profession of translation can be practiced. In general, the law on the professional association of translators is applied in the states. Translators can practice this profession after passing an exam.

In order to improve the translation profession in our country, it is necessary to adopt a translation law, to establish a chamber of translators, to establish professional standards and to conduct proficiency exams to measure the competence of translators.
