Turkish is finished: all seven sections, 104 guides, the same site as the other three
Turkish launched on 14 September with the chrome and one section, and the home page said so rather than hiding it. Four days later the remaining six sections are translated: trading, fees, earn, ecosystem, troubleshooting and comparisons. A Turkish reader now gets the whole site, and nothing on it links out to English any more.
When Turkish launched on 14 September it had the full chrome and one section: the thirty-two getting-started guides. The other six were English, and the Turkish home page said so on the card rather than quietly linking out.
Those six are now translated. trading (24 guides), fees (5), earn (8),
ecosystem (11), troubleshooting (5) and the comparison section (19) brings
Turkish to 104 guides — the same count as English, Russian and Spanish, with
the same sections and the same slugs.
What changed for a Turkish reader
Every link on a Turkish page now points at a Turkish page. That sounds small and it is the whole point: the failure mode of a translated site is a reader who follows three links and lands in a language they did not choose.
Two places were still doing that and have been fixed. Two of the wallet guides linked the deposit troubleshooting checklist in English, because no Turkish version existed when they were written. And the Turkish referral page carried two links marked (İngilizce) to the fee-reduction guide and the account guide, left over from before those sections were translated. All four now resolve in Turkish.
The comparison hub is the other visible change. /tr/compare/ already existed,
because its venue table — sixteen exchanges, every fee, custody model and
identity-check note — was translated from the start and is most of the page.
But the “Ayrıntılı karşılaştırmalar” block underneath it stood empty, because
there were no Turkish comparison guides to list. There are nineteen now.
What we did not do
We did not machine-translate and ship. Every guide was written against its
English source with the same structure, the same components and the same
figures, which come from the data layer in all four languages rather than being
typed into the prose. That is why a fee change costs no translation work, and
why the Turkish pages carry the same verifiedAt dates as the English ones
rather than pretending to a freshness they do not have.
We also did not translate the long tail of market pages. Turkish gets the same frozen subset Russian and Spanish get — the assets people actually search by name. A page per market per language is the doorway pattern, and it is the one change most likely to harm the domain.
The two Turkish-specific traps, recorded
Both cost a rebuild before they were understood, and both are now written down at the top of the Turkish dictionary so the next person does not repeat them.
Turkish dropped the circumflex, so resmi means two different things. The
picture (resim) in its accusative form and the word for official collapse
into the same string, and this site bans the second word on every page because
claiming to be official would be a lie. Any picture metaphor in Turkish
therefore has to be rewritten — bütün, tablo, genel görünüm.
Percent signs go after the number, against Turkish convention. Turkish
writes %4. Every figure rendered by a component comes out as 4%, and a page
that mixes both forms looks broken. Consistency inside the page beats the
convention here.
Where the site stands
Four languages, 104 guides each, 1,122 URLs. English, Russian, Spanish and Turkish are now equal, which means the rule runs forward from here: a new English guide is not finished until it exists in all four.
