It all began in 2001 when the core staff of Tercumeks Language Services Ltd. came together at Garanti Language Services Ltd. Thanks to the skills of two translators with over 10 years of experience, a veteran office manager who had dealt with project management in the translation sector for many years and the superior effort of experienced, hard-working translators, Garanti Translation has made significant progress in a short amount of time and has expanded its own base of loyal and valued customers by adding the customer portfolio of Tercumex™, which included respected sector leaders, as well as multi-national institutions and government agencies and organizations that define and enforce quality standards. In 2003, Garanti Translation also opened a branch office in Ankara in order to be closer to customers in the public sector.
Shortly after that, it became necessary to restructure in order to adapt to the
changing market conditions and Tercümeks Language Services Ltd. was founded in Istanbul
in 2004. The Tercumex™ brand name and the slogan “Biz Çeviriyoruz, Dünya Dönüyor…™”
(We Spin (translate) and the World Turns) were registered so that our company could
continue its business as Turkey’s first translation brand.
Tercumex™ became one of the first translation companies in Turkey to adopt European
and American standards in language services by making its project coordinators and
employees members of the American Translators Association as well as a variety of
vocational chambers and professional associations both in Turkey and abroad. This
was how we became acquainted with desktop publishing, localization, translation
memory and archive management software, project automation, the principle of confidentiality
and corporate solutions partnership model as well as validated translation processes
and data security.
In order to offer more affordable translation services between Turkish, English
and Slavic languages, Tercumex Language Services Ukraine (Tercumex™ Ukraina) was
founded in Kiev in 2006, providing Turkish and English translation services for
Russian, Ukrainian and all Slavic and Eastern European languages with translators
and project coordinators that belong to the American Translators Association.
Tercumex™ currently provides translation, certified (sworn) translation, localization,
globalization and multi-language desktop publishing services from over 60 languages
into Turkish and from Turkish into more than 60 languages with expert translators
from different branches and sectors as well as in-house and freelance translators
supported by project coordinators, who are members of the American Translators Association,
and computer assisted specialist terminology databases that include hundreds of
thousands of terms.
Furthermore, Tercumex™ has access to thousands of translators through the ATA network
and is still one of the few companies in Turkey that provides Native Speaker Translation
services.
Our goal is to provide our valued customers with affordable translations that accurately
reflect the content of the original text and read like natural texts written by
a native speaker and not like translations. In other words, our mission is: “To
bring you translation that adheres to European and American standards at Turkish
prices.”
