Harking back to regional translation as a phenomenon which derives from the relations between not only the East and West but also the North and South, it intends to deal with the rich heritage in the light of the contemporary theories of translation studies and thereby enrich the international cultural mosaic of the world by adding to it her own authentic colours. Accordingly, it aims at functioning as a means of transferring knowledge from the rich translation experience of Turkey and her neighbourhood to the international arena instead of importing knowledge from international journals. Considering the current trend of the hegemony of English in international journals as well as the close relationship of “translation” with language and culture, it deliberately prefers to stay away from monolingualism and adopts the policy of multilingualism by making use of such languages as Turkish, English, German and French. Within the framework of its principles, it abides by the main terms of scientificity listed as follows: originality, clarity, systematicity, empricity as well as its potential to address the universal academic environment.

The journal mainly covers the areas of Comparative Translation Studies, Translation Theory, Ethics of Translation, Translation Criticism, Translator Training, History of Translation, Professionalism, Information Technologies, Domain-specific Translation and Interdisciplinary Studies on translations.
It is also open to translation-oriented studies which deal with comparative cultural and literary studies. The journal includes research articles, review articles, reviews of books and notices of translation activities.
