Translating since 2004

Literary standards
We treat every text the way we treat a novel: voice, register and nuance matter, whether the reader is a person or a model.
Confidential by default
Only your project team sees your material, it is used only for your project, and NDAs are a matter of course.
Clear terms
A written quote for every project, a free sample or a pilot before any commitment, and your approval at each stage.

Which languages do you work in?
Turkish and English are our in-house languages, in both directions. For German, Spanish and French we work with vetted native-speaker literary translators and quote per language pair.
Can we see the quality before committing?
Yes. We translate the first ~500 words free of charge and deliver within 3–5 business days. For AI projects we start with a small paid pilot.
Do you use AI in literary translation?
Our premium package is translated entirely by people. In the hybrid package an AI first draft is revised end to end by a human literary translator. We always tell you which method we use, so you can disclose it wherever your publisher or platform requires.
What do you do for AI teams?
We write, translate, evaluate and annotate Turkish and English data for language models, such as instruction and dialogue data, localized benchmarks, preference rankings and safety reviews. Native speakers do the work and a second linguist reviews it.
How long does a full book take?
A 60,000-word novel usually takes 8–12 weeks, including editing and your review rounds. We agree the schedule in writing before we start.
Is our material kept confidential?
Yes. Only the linguists on your project see your texts or data, we use them only for your project, and we sign non-disclosure agreements on request.
Start with the first 500 words.
