English → Turkish Translation

English to Turkish translation on your Mac - accurate agglutination, vowel harmony, and natural phrasing.

How It Works

  1. Select your text

    Highlight the text you want to translate in any application - email, a document, a browser tab, or a chat window.

  2. Press the shortcut

    Hit your configured Echoo keyboard shortcut. Nothing is copied to the clipboard and no window opens.

  3. AI translates

    Claude Sonnet 4.5 handles Turkish agglutination, where a single word can carry what English spreads across a whole clause.

  4. Result appears inline

    The Turkish is pasted back in place with vowel harmony applied, so every suffix matches the vowels of the stem it attaches to.

Example Translation

English (Original)

The flight to Istanbul departs at 9:15 AM from Terminal 2. Please arrive at the airport at least two hours early.

Turkish (Translated)

İstanbul'a giden uçak Terminal 2'den saat 09:15'te kalkacaktır. Lütfen havalimanına en az iki saat önceden geliniz.

Translating English to Turkish

Turkish is agglutinative: suffixes stack onto a root until one word carries what English needs a clause for. That makes suffix ordering the central problem - each one has a fixed position, and the sequence encodes tense, person, negation, possibility and evidentiality. Vowel harmony then governs the form each suffix takes, since front and back vowels cannot mix within a word, so the same suffix has two or four surface forms depending on the stem. Word order is subject-object-verb, with the verb reliably last. Turkish also has no grammatical gender at all, so translations from gendered languages lose information while translations from English gain none. The dotted and dotless i are separate letters with separate uppercase forms.

Recommended Setup

Best model for this pair

Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite handles English to Turkish best in our testing. Any provider you have configured will work - this is the one to pick if you have a choice.

Voice dictation

Dictation is supported for English, so you can speak instead of typing and have the result translated in the same step.

Tips for Better Translations

1

Turkish is agglutinative - single words can carry meaning that takes an entire English phrase. The AI handles this naturally.

2

Turkish vowel harmony affects suffixes - the AI correctly applies front/back and rounded/unrounded vowel rules.

3

The Turkish dotted İ/i and dotless I/ı distinction is critical - Echoo handles this correctly in all contexts.

4

For formal Turkish, use "siz" (formal you) - configure this in your Echoo command settings.
