IT & Software
The right address for your IT & Software documents: our office in Kızılay, Ankara provides sector-aware, terminology-accurate translation for software companies, SaaS providers and tech start-ups.
This page sets out our solutions for the IT & Software sector, our terminology management, our quality process and answers to frequently asked questions.
Why Does IT & Software Translation Require Expertise?
In IT & Software documents a single wrong term can mean a lost tender, an invalid contract or serious costs. That is why your projects are routed to software-localization-experienced translators and pass through independent revision.
Documents We Frequently Translate in the IT & Software Sector
We regularly translate and certify the following document types:
- Software UI and error-message strings
- APIs and technical documentation
- Licence (EULA) and privacy agreements
- .po, .json, .xliff source files
In the IT & Software field we work in line with character limits, placeholder structures and UI consistency; this compliance ensures your documents are accepted smoothly both at home and abroad.
Sector-Specific Terminology and Translation Memory
Through the translation memory (TM) and term bases we build for corporate clients, a consistent language is preserved across all your documents over the years. Consistency is a quiet but powerful component of corporate reputation.
On repetitive content, translation memory both lowers cost and shortens turnaround; we offer special rates for regular needs.
Individual and Corporate Solutions in IT & Software
IT & Software needs are mostly corporate; we offer framework agreements, volume-based pricing, a dedicated project manager and a brand-specific translation memory. One-off requests are handled with the same care. For firms with steady paperwork we provide monthly consolidated invoicing.
IT & Software Sector Confidentiality and Data Security
IT & Software documents often contain trade secrets, personal data or competitively sensitive information. On every project we sign an NDA, store your documents on 256-bit encrypted infrastructure and permanently delete them at your request once complete. In this sector, data security is not negotiable for us.
In Which Languages Do We Translate IT & Software?
In the IT & Software field we work in more than 50 languages, led by English, German, Dutch, Flemish, French, Russian, Arabic and Chinese, using native translators matched to your target market.
Process Management for IT & Software Projects
IT & Software work often involves many documents, tight deadlines and several stakeholders at once. We manage such projects with a dedicated project manager, coordinating version control, term approval and the delivery schedule from a single point — so consistency and timing hold up even at high volume.
On urgent, critical IT & Software documents we increase speed without lowering quality by sharing the work across expert teams while keeping term unity through a shared translation memory.
The Difference Professional Service Makes
On an official document the goal is not merely to convert words but to preserve legal and administrative validity. Amateur or automatic translations cause rejection through wrong transliteration, missing approvals and formatting errors.
In professional certified translation, term accuracy, a second check, the necessary approvals and strict confidentiality are standard — so you lose neither time nor money.
IT & Software Translation: Our Workflow
To make quality a matter of process rather than luck, we apply a consistent flow that protects both speed and accuracy:
- 1. Assessment: We review the document and confirm scope, price and timing.
- 2. Translation: A subject-matter specialist handles the work.
- 3. Revision: An independent reviser checks terminology and meaning.
- 4. Certification: Notarization and apostille are arranged where necessary.
- 5. Delivery: Your document reaches you ready to submit.
For urgent cases, our expedited track shortens turnaround without compromising quality.
Our Quality Process: ISO 17100 and Three-Stage Control
We run every project in line with ISO 17100, the most widely recognised translation-quality standard. It ensures that IT & Software translation is never left to a single person’s discretion:
- Translation: by a subject-matter, native-level translator.
- Revision: an independent reviser compares source and target sentence by sentence.
- Final QA: a closing quality and formatting check before delivery.
This three-stage structure secures our zero-error principle and terminology consistency; our translation memory keeps the same terms identical even across separate documents.
Official Approval: Notary Certification and Apostille
For a translation to gain official status, being correct is not enough; it must also pass the right approval chain. Within the translation of IT & Software documents, the translation becomes ready for international circulation after sworn certification and notarization, and an apostille where required.
Apostilles are issued by the Governor’s/District Governor’s office for administrative documents and by the courthouse for judicial documents. We handle all of these steps on your behalf in Ankara and deliver your document turnkey.
Some institutions accept a sworn translator’s certification, while most official applications require notarization. We determine the correct level based on the institution you will submit to.
Ignoring sector terminology, expanding abbreviations incorrectly and using machine translation are the costliest errors in technical and legal documents.
Ankara-Based, Serving All of Türkiye
Our head office is in Kızılay, Ankara; with our digital workflow we meet your IT & Software translation needs wherever you are in the country.
Pricing and Turnaround
The cost of IT & Software translation is based on document volume (characters/pages), urgency and the type of approval (sworn, notarized or apostilled). We dislike surprise costs, so we present the entire fee in writing before we begin. For a fair calculation, most projects are priced per 1,000 characters without spaces.
Standard documents are usually delivered in 1–2 business days, and urgent jobs the same day. Notary and apostille fees are paid to third-party authorities and shown as a separate, transparent line in the quote. For regular needs we offer volume-based corporate rates.
Confidentiality, Trust and Accountability
Documents that reach us during IT & Software translation often contain personal data, trade secrets or legally sensitive information. Confidentiality is not an add-on for us — it is the foundation of the work; on request we sign an NDA before starting.
Your documents are stored on 256-bit encrypted infrastructure, and everyone on our team is bound by a confidentiality undertaking. At the end of the project your data is, at your request, permanently deleted.
Documents We Accept and Delivery Options
There is no complex process to send a document: a clear photo, a PDF scan or a Word/Excel file is enough for most cases. We deliver the output as an e-signed PDF, an editable file or a wet-signed original, depending on your needs.
For notarized and apostilled work, wet-signed documents are sent by courier; in-person pickup is available within Ankara. For technical documents we preserve the page layout (DTP).
The Value of Experience and Trust
The experience we have built since 2008 lets us know in advance what format, terminology and approval a given document needs at a given institution. In IT & Software translation, that knowledge minimises the risk of delay and rejection.
Thousands of completed projects have given us not only language but process expertise. The fact that most of our clients return for new needs is the clearest proof of that trust.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you handle high-volume IT & Software projects?
Yes; with our translation memory and expert-team capacity we deliver high-volume, repetitive projects consistently and on time.
What is the difference between IT & Software translation and a notarized translation?
A certified (sworn) translation carries the signature and stamp of an authorised sworn translator; notarization is the notary’s official attestation of that translation. Public institutions, consulates and courts most often require notarization. We assess which one you need free of charge, based on the institution you will submit to, and prevent unnecessary expense.
Do I need to bring my document in person?
It isn’t necessary. A legible scan or photo is enough to begin. Only a few official procedures that require the original mean you would need to bring or courier it; we flag this upfront. We work remotely with clients across the country.
How fast is delivery?
Most documents are delivered within 1–2 business days, and we offer a same-day option for urgent work. The only real driver of turnaround is volume and language pair. On large projects we can split the work and deliver in stages so you are not kept waiting.
Do you also handle the apostille?
Yes. After notarization we follow the apostille (or, for non-Hague countries, consular legalization) on your behalf in Ankara and make the document internationally valid. You do not need to run between the governor’s office, district office or courthouse — we manage the entire chain.
How can I pay?
You can pay by bank transfer/EFT and other common methods. Individual jobs are usually paid before work begins; for corporate clients we offer periodic (monthly) invoicing under a framework agreement. The full amount is clear at the quote stage.
How is the confidentiality of my documents protected?
Information security is a core principle: we sign an NDA with anyone who requests one and keep your files on secure systems accessible only to authorised experts. When the work is done your data is destroyed at your request. This care is one reason law firms and public bodies choose us.
What happens if there is an error in the translation?
We make all in-scope corrections free of charge and stand behind the work we deliver. Our priority in case of any dissatisfaction is not a refund but bringing the translation fully in line with your expectations and the receiving institution’s requirements.
Will an institution abroad accept your translation?
Yes. Documents prepared with a sworn translator’s certification, notarization and apostille carry international validity. Based on whether the destination country is party to the Hague Convention, we determine the correct approval chain from the start and deliver the document in the format the relevant institution expects.
