Principles to Be Followed in Translation Texts

Before a translated text is included in the Publications of the Turkish Historical Society, it must be prepared in accordance with the following points or must be corrected accordingly.

a) In Post-Tanzimat printed texts:

1. In such texts, transliteration or in other words "lightened transcription" is applied, not scientific transcription.

The concept of "transcription" to be used from now on is to reflect all the letters, including the letters that are not used in Turkish, with another alphabet; transliteration, on the other hand, describes transferring without any simplification while preserving the integrity of the word.

2. All long syllables should be written in the letters â, û, î. E.g. domination; rûberû; cerîde ... For long a sound, which should be read in bold and has words that can also lead to confusion of meaning, the "a" spelling may be preferred to prevent this situation. E.g..Gazî; mukayese; tekabül ,kanûn…

This will also prevent reading errors in Arabic and Persian words with similar spelling. E.g.. As in the words “kanûn” meaning “law” and “İkincikânûn” (Kânûnisânî) meaning “January”…

3. The original sounds of the words should be preserved and the mitigation process in the transcription should be limited to the spelling. E.g..AptülhakHamit( – ) → AbdülhakHâmid ( + )

4. In the writing of Arabic compositions, ISAM in DİA and MEB. the spelling rules adopted in the Encyclopedia of Islam should be applied. E.g..Muhîtü’l-Maârif; Muînü’d-devle …

5. In Persian compositions, the hyphen should be written every time. E.g..Devlet-iAliyye; hüsn-imuâmele, müdîr-iumûmî … Compound -i in Persian compositions should not be written as "-ü". For example: müdür-ü umûmî( – ); hüsn-ü muâmele ( – ); umûr-u mâliye ( – ) → umûr-ı mâliye ( + ) …

The "ü" corresponding to the word "and" are preserved exactly and written without connotation to the word before and after it.

6. In Ottoman printed texts, the names of individuals and cities belonging to the Western field are usually written as read. In the translation of a post-Tanzimat text, such words should be written in accordance with the spelling in the original language.

E.g.. “Mısır’dakalanFransızlarınumûr-ı mâliyemüdîr-iumûmîsiPosiyelk’agönderdiğimektup (…)” ( – ).

“Mısır’dakalanFransızlarınumûr-ı mâliyemüdîr-iumûmîsiPoussielque’agönderdiğimektup (…)” ( + )

The use of Turkish is based on the names of foreign places and individuals commonly used in Turkish.

7. Masdar-ica'lîs should be written with double y, except for those written in single y, since they are frequently used in today's Turkish. E.g..Osmâniyye; Cülûsiyye; şahsiyye … E.g. favorites. Bahriye; Mülkiye…

8. At the end of the words ending with nisbet –î, the name should be written in Turkish as "î" so that it does not mistaken with masdar-ica'lî, but this spelling should not be used in masdar-ica'lîs:

E.g.. “ mâl-imillîyeuygunolarak …” (Here, the -ye at the end of the word millî indicates the -i form of the noun.).

“ mâl-imilliyyeyeuygunolarak …” (“The spelling of "Amâl-iMilliyeye" is wrong).

9. The words and special names that are intended to be emphasized in Ottoman printed works are mostly emphasized in brackets. However, today, it is preferred to emphasize by enclosing double quotes instead. In this respect;

a) If there is only one (or several) words that need to be emphasized, it should be written in quotation marks instead of parent brackets.

E.g.. “(…) nâm-ı âlîleri (Nizâm-ı Cedîd) tesmiyeolundu.” ( – )

“(…) nâm-ı âlîleri “Nizâm-ı Cedîd” tesmiyeolundu.” ( + )

b) If it is a book name that is intended to be emphasized, it is enough to write italics only for emphasis.

E.g.. “Tameşvarî (Hadîkatü’ş-Şu‘arâ ) / “Hadîkatü’ş-Şu‘arâ” nâmeser-ibî-hemtâsında (…)” ( – ).

“TameşvarîHadîkatü’ş-Şu‘arânâmeser-ibî-hemtâsında (…)” ( + ).

c) Since there is no uppercase and lowercase separation in the Ottoman alphabet, there is no need for special emphasis on private names in terms of person, institution or place name, as well as in the form of quotation marks; initials are sufficient to be capitalized.

E.g.. “Şeyhülislâm’ınüstâdı (Münîr Efendi) de çağırılıpmeydânagetirildi.” ( – )

“Şeyhülislâm’ınüstâdıMünîr Efendi de çağırılıpmeydânagetirildi.” ( + )

Therefore, in such cases, the parent brackets used in the texts written in Ottoman Turkish should not be used at all. Of course, parentary brackets will be used in sentences or phrases of the nature of description and additional information.

10. Translations of sentences from non-Turkish languages in the main text should be transferred into the text, and if necessary, the original spellings in the footnotes should be given before the source information.

11. The spelling of Persian words not used in today's Turkish should be based on Turkish tameness, as is the case with today's use.

Ör. nohoft( – ) → nühüft ( +); dovvom ( – ) → düvvüm ( +) …

12. The common Turkish pronunciation should be taken as a basis in the writing of all kinds of Arabic words in a printed text in Ottoman Turkish. E.g..Rasûl( – ) → Resûl; a‘yân → âyân …

13. The letter ayn, which is a voice for Arabic words, should not be reflected in the spelling unless it causes confusion of meaning or reading error.

14. Since post-tanzimat printed texts will be based on transliteration, not transcription, apostroph and hyphen marks should be removed for Arabic, Persian compositions, which are named or used a lot.

E.g..Abdü’l-Hamîd ( – ) → Abdülhamîd ( + )

Kânûn-isânî ( – ) → Kânûnisânî ( + ); Teşrîn-isânî ( – ) → Teşrînisânî ( +); Rebîü’l-evvel → Rebîülevvel

Cemâziye’l-âhir → Cemâziyelâhir; Zi’l-ka’de → Zilkade

Şeyhü’l-İslâm ( – ) → Şeyhülislâm ( + ) vb.

15. Although the letter b is generally used in Ottoman texts and the letters c and d are used in some other words at the end of Turkish words, especially words with verb origin, p, ç, t-shaped hard-consonant letters should be used in transcription studies. Again, especially in verb-origin words, as a continuation of the Old Turkish pronunciation in the Anatolian field, the “ü” sounds, “i”, “ı” sounds, which are reflected in the Ottoman orthography, should be corrected according to phonetic harmony; The sound, which is also called the closed letter e and is usually written with the letter "i", should be written with the letter "e".

Examp. idüb( – ) → edip ( + ); konub ( – ) → konup ( + ); bitüb ( – ) → bitip ( + ); içün ( – ) → için ( + ); ağac

( – ) → ağaç ( + ); yiğid → ( – ) yiğit ( +); geçid ( – ) → geçit ( + ) …

b) In the post-Tanzimat archive documents:

In such texts, the method of scientific transcription is applied.

c) In pre-tanzimat printing or writing texts:

The scientific transcription method applied in ISAM DIA and MEB Encyclopedia of Islam should have been used while preparing the translations of such works. If there is any mismatch between these two Encyclopedias, it is based on DIA. When proposing the publication of a pre-Tanzimat text to the institution, the letters specific to the transcription alphabet should be listed at the beginning of the work; Throughout the text, this alphabet should be taken as a basis, especially in writing the letters that are not found in Turkish.

d) Russian, Bulgarian, Greek, etc. alphabet should be used in different languages, the transfer of words should be according to Turkish pronunciation.

Note: Studies that are not organized according to the principles of this publication will not be included in the Book of Symposium Paper Texts
