Date and number format converter

In the US, the month comes first in a numeric date: 06/07/2001 is 7 June 2001. In the United Kingdom, as in Türkiye, the day comes first, so the same notation is 6 July 2001. If the day is not greater than 12, the date can be read two ways; check which country’s format the document uses. Written out, the date is June 7, 2001 in the US and 7 June 2001 in the United Kingdom.

In English, the decimal separator is a full stop and the thousands separator is a comma: 1.234,56 in Turkish is written 1,234.56 in English. So 1.234 is one thousand two hundred thirty-four in Turkish, but one point two three four in English. German, Spanish, Italian and Dutch use a decimal comma, as Turkish does. French separates thousands with a space: 1 234,56.

The international code of the Turkish lira is TRY and its symbol is ₺. In English text, an amount is written TRY 12,500.00 or 12,500.00 TRY; the currency is called the Turkish lira. In official document translation, the TL abbreviation in the source is kept as it is and, if needed, explained in a translator’s note where it first appears.

Under Sealingo’s translation rules, numeric dates and number formats stay as they are in the source: 14.06.2001 and 1.250.000,00 are not changed. In a date written in words, the month name is translated into the target language: 14 Haziran 2001 becomes 14 June 2001 in British English. The number format is converted only if the client explicitly asks, and this is stated in a translator’s note.
