Boğaziçi University Students Create an Earthquake Terminology Dictionary in 30 Languages
Developed under the leadership of Boğaziçi University Department of Translation and Interpreting undergraduate students Abdullah Sadık Kuralay, Betül Mulbay, and Ahmet Ergün, the multilingual earthquake glossary brings together key phrases for communication in earthquake-affected areas as well as terms related to search and rescue and first aid. The project aims to minimize communication barriers between international rescue teams and local volunteers operating in disaster zones. While work is underway to transform the database—currently available in 30 languages—into a mobile application, plans are also being made to expand it to cover other disasters such as floods and wildfires.
