I had a great experience with Bosphorus Translator. I needed my Turkish marriage certificate translated into English to submit to the Passport Office, and the whole process was incredibly quick and straightforward. He was very kind, helpful and professional throughout, and I received the translation much sooner than expected. I would definitely recommend Ali’s services!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I highly recommend Ali and his translation service. Ali has helped my family and me on several occasions when we have needed translation support, and we have always found him to be professional, reliable, patient and extremely helpful.

He takes the time to make sure everything is clearly understood and makes what can sometimes be a stressful process feel much easier. His communication is excellent, and we have always felt supported and confident in his service.

Thank you, Ali, for all your help and for always being there when we have needed you. We really appreciate everything you have done for my family and would happily recommend your services to anyone looking for a trustworthy, quick and professional translator.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer certified Turkish translation in London? Yes. I provide certified English to Turkish and Turkish to English translations accepted by UK Home Office, universities, and official institutions, delivered digitally or by post to London addresses. For a fuller explanation, see my guide: Certified vs Sworn, Notarised, Legalised and Apostilled.

How much does Turkish translation cost? Certified translations start from £30 per one page document (applies to digitally delivered translations of short, one page documents such as diplomas, degree certificates or birth certificates). A hard copy with a physical stamp and wet signature, posted by Royal Mail First Class 24 Hour Tracked and Signed For Delivery, is an additional £15 per order. Apart from specific documents and short, one-page documents, documents with multiple pages are priced at £0.10 per word. Contact me for a free, fixed-price quote.

How quickly can I get a Turkish translation? Most standard documents are quoted and returned within 24–48 hours. Urgent turnaround is available on request.

Do you translate technical and legal documents? Yes — I specialise in technical (including oil & gas and engineering), legal, and business translation, in addition to certified and general translation.

Why should I use a qualified translator for my certified translation? In the UK, anyone can call themselves a certified translator. If the organisation receiving your document can’t verify who translated it, they may reject it — which can mean delays and paying twice. Choosing a translator who belongs to a recognised body such as the CIOL or ITI gives your translation credentials that anyone can check.

How can I check your credentials? I’m a Chartered Linguist and member of the CIOL (no. 42759) and a qualified member of the ITI (no. 8695). You can look me up in both bodies’ public directories, and my membership details appear on every certificate of translation I issue.
