Turkish equivalents are searched for English words in the Digital world
As technology developed and settled in the center of our lives, the terms and concepts of western languages began to be used in our language as Turkish equivalents cannot be found. Honorary Chairman of Turkey Informatics Association İlker Tabak said: “If Turkish terms become widespread in digital, they have positive effects on technological development. Otherwise, the technology develops and progresses, and we become only consumers of it.” In order to resolve this problem.
The issue on changing terms into Turkish was discussed by specialists in five different tables with the topics ‘Digital Reputation, Industry 4.0 and Artificial Intelligence, Digital Media, Cyber Security and Society 5.0’ in Turkish in New Communication Environments: “Current Problems and Term Suggestions Workshop” at Istanbul Gelisim University. Gürer Gülsevin, Head of the Turkish Language Association (TDK), also took part in the workshop organized to produce Turkish terms in order to avoid the confusion of Western terms in communication technologies and to eliminate the difficulty of expression.
