Fluent in context, private by design

Your browser's translator is fine for a quick look. dragoman is made for reading: it understands the whole page, and the page stays yours.

It reads the page the way you do

A built-in translator sees one sentence at a time, so names, double meanings, and sayings trip it up. dragoman reads the whole page first, so it knows what each sentence means.

From Turkish

Your browser's translator: The sea scored in the 90th minute.

dragoman: Deniz scored in the 90th minute.

Deniz is a Turkish name, and also the word for sea.

From Spanish

Your browser's translator: The party ended 2–1.

dragoman: The match ended 2–1.

On a sports page, partido means a match, not a party.

From French

Your browser's translator: Those aren't my onions.

dragoman: That's none of my business.

A French saying about onions that means it's none of your business.

From German

Your browser's translator: They can cancel at any time.

dragoman: You can cancel at any time.

On a sign-up page, Sie means you, not they.

Same word, every time

Pages repeat names, labels, and menu items. A built-in translator can render each one differently every time it appears, and instructions stop making sense. dragoman picks one translation and keeps it across the whole page.

What is a dragoman?

Dragomans were the interpreters and guides who carried words between the Ottoman court and Europe's envoys and merchants. The work called for Turkish, Arabic, and Persian on top of European languages.

The word itself went from tongue to tongue.

targumannu Akkadian
  • The first Dragoman of the Sublime Porte, Panagiotis Nikousios, was Greek, and most of the princes who ruled Wallachia and Moldavia from 1711 to 1821 had held the same office.
  • Dragomans were exempt from taxes, and embassy dragomans often met Ottoman officials without their ambassador in the room.
  • In the Tanzimat era, the Translation Office of the Sublime Porte became one of the surest roads to power in the Ottoman government.
