Our Publication Language

Our website is based in Turkey. However, since we also have content for the parts of the Thrace region within the borders of Bulgaria and Greece, our site is multilingual. The currently available languages are:

Turkish

English

Bulgarian

Greek

If there is a demand for other languages among our audience, new publication languages will be added.

Our infrastructure does not include automatic language translation (such as Google Translate). Both our infrastructure and content are prepared in these languages. For first-time visitors, the website opens in the language used in their web browser. However, language selection can be made at any time from the top-right corner.

While preparing translations, artificial intelligence language models are utilized. However, some typos may occur. You can report these to us through our contact channel.

Our Infrastructure

Our site uses several open source content systems as infrastructure. These extremely powerful and talented systems are constantly kept up to date. However, the main backbone of our site is the Trakyanet Content System, which is built on these content management systems. The coding is completely ours, written from scratch and is not a derivative of any ready-made code. In this way, the entire site has been provided to be a local system at a rate of approximately 80%. Although all security measures have been taken, it continues to be developed. Since it is completely prepared specifically for our site, it is not sold or distributed. However, this idea is being considered for the future.
