Native English speaker and Turkish language expert
I am a qualified professional in the field of Turkish translation and interpreting. My native language is English. I am a British national and now live in Limassol, in the south of Cyprus. Translators can only produce quality work when translating into their native language. In line with this widely-accepted principle, I only undertake written translation work into English.
I specialise in financial and legal texts. I have gained a lot of experience in the field of commercial law, especially cases concerning debt recovery. I am always happy to consider assignments of a general nature.
You can find some sample translations below.

The translation of an article by KUTLU ADALI: Cypriotised Lineage
