About Us

Our Story

1997
August
The Beginning of a Vision

Mirora was born out of the dreams and perseverance of two university students who shared a passion for languages and a vision to bring people together across borders. What started as a bold idea soon became the foundation of an extraordinary journey in the language services industry.

2002
A New Era of Innovation

In 2002, we embarked on a major transformation that reshaped the core of our company. We restructured our teams and created specialized departments, enabling us to better serve the diverse needs of our clients. With the integration of Computer Assisted Translation (CAT) tools and the introduction of word-based pricing, we not only adapted to changes in the industry, but also set new standards by raising the bar for efficiency and quality.

2006
Expanding Beyond Borders

Our global aspirations took flight in 2006, with the opening of our first international office in Dublin, Ireland. This milestone marked the beginning of Mirora’s expansion beyond Türkiye, positioning us to serve clients across different time zones and markets.

2007
A Commitment to Quality

In 2007, our unwavering commitment to delivering quality services was solidified when we achieved the ISO 9001:2015 certification from the British Standards Institution (BSI). This accomplishment followed a rigorous year-long process of documenting and refining our quality management systems. It became a key pillar of our operations, reflecting our promise to uphold excellence in every project.

2010
Strengthening Global Alliances

By 2010, our vision to be a truly global player took another leap forward as we joined prestigious language industry organizations. This move enhanced our international presence and connected us with leading experts and innovators across the world, deepening our commitment to staying ahead of industry trends and maintaining our role as a thought leader in the field.

2017
Expanding Across Continents

The opening of our Dallas office in 2017 marked another significant step in our global expansion, extending our presence across multiple continents. With strategic locations in Europe, North America, and Asia, Mirora became a trusted partner for businesses seeking seamless communication solutions worldwide.

2020
Adapting in Unprecedented Times

The global pandemic of 2020 tested businesses everywhere, but at Mirora, we took it as an opportunity to adapt and innovate. We smoothly transitioned to remote work, ensuring uninterrupted service for our clients when they needed us the most. This shift not only demonstrated our resilience but also redefined how we operate, a practice that continues to this day.

2021
Broadening Our Horizons

In 2021, we expanded our portfolio to include interpretation services for international conferences and business meetings. This addition allowed us to offer even more comprehensive language solutions, reinforcing our role as a versatile provider in the global marketplace.

2024

A Milestone Achievement

As we celebrate our 28th anniversary, we reflect on the remarkable journey that has brought us here. Since our inception, we have successfully completed over 135,000 projects and translated more than 200 million words, serving clients from diverse industries and regions.

Looking Ahead
The Future of Mirora

With 28 years behind us, we look forward to the future with the same passion and commitment that fueled our founding. As we continue to welcome new clients and tackle exciting challenges, our mission remains clear: to provide world-class language solutions that help businesses thrive in an increasingly interconnected world.

Commitment to Quality

We take our work seriously and that means holding ourselves to high standards. For us, quality isn’t just about delivering great results—it’s about caring enough to make sure everything we do reflects the effort and attention it deserves. We believe in doing things well, even if it takes extra time.

MİRORA THROUGH THE EYES OF ITS MANAGERS

Here are its founders and managers who made Mirora Mirora!

Cihat Salman

FOUNDING PARTNER

I hate the word “veteran”; it sounds to me like an adjective that defines a person who’s not worth a dime anymore. Yet, I cannot find any other word that defines me better! Yes, I am a translation industry “veteran” who’s been, seen or done a thing or two in his 20+ years of translation industry experience. When I and a very dear friend of mine from college set up Mirora in 1997, we were the translators, editors, proofreaders, project managers, accountants, salespeople, page designers and even office boys. In fact, translation has never been my passion, I am rather a man of “numbers”. Yet languages have always mesmerized me as I believe they have a strong, down-to-earth but mysterious relationship with math. Since I am a graduate of English Philology from Istanbul University, I believe it’ll be very appropriate to say that languages have not only amazed me, but also shaped me, transformed me into what I am today. I’m not proud of myself! I’m proud of people who’ve been with me throughout this journey, who’ve given me the pride to say “We’ve done it, folks! We’ve made Mirora a professional, reliable, resourceful translation company celebrating its 23rd anniversary."

Mete Özel

FOUNDING PARTNER

When we founded Mirora, we were just three people, we had two corporate customers, we had little capital other than our dreams. Now we are a big family with business partners all over the world, and we still continue to dream. I have enjoyed the projects I have done in this company as much as I love poetry and art. I have done nearly everything in the company, except translation. Mirora has been recognized as a pioneering, exemplary and diligent institution, since we leave the translation work to the professionals on our team and control the necessary processes from the start.

Tahsin Karamahmutoğlu

PARTNER

I have been with Mirora for more than half of my working life which I have been in for about 35 years. Along this journey, Mirora has grown, shaped and reached its success today thanks to every single individual and their values. It is an incredible source of joy and happiness for me to have started this journey as a professional worker and become a part of it today as a partner.

"WE DO WHAT WE LOVE IN THE PLACE WE LOVE!"

THE TEAM BEHIND SUCCESSFUL PROJECTS

At Mirora, I’m fortunate to have a profession that perfectly aligns with my passion for languages and my international education and experience. Representing a quality-driven, customer-focused institution is incredibly fulfilling and I take great pride in showcasing our work on a global stage.

Gulsah Kaya Business Development Manager

I am a graduate of Istanbul University English Language and Literature, I have been working as a Translator / Editor at Mirora since 2014. Like most translators, I am just as crazy as the rest. :)

Ilayda Tekküpeli Translator/Editor

Since 2002, my reason for choosing Mirora has been its constant growth and commitment to progress. Mirora evolves with every passing year, staying open to development, embracing new technologies, offering training when needed, and maintaining a culture of fairness. It makes me truly happy to see that my colleagues also value “experience” as much as I do.

Selma İleri Page Design Director

Since 2005, I have been working as a proofreader with the amazingly talented translators at Mirora. They are the best in the business by far. Being a part of the Mirora family has expanded my knowledge in so many different areas – from selling snacks with advertising campaigns to saving lives through innovations in the pharmaceutical industry – that it is truly mind-blowing. Cheers to many more years!

April Chapple Proofreader/Last Reader

I am very satisfied with Mirora's general management approach and the process methods of the project managers. As a translator, working for a company like you is a privilige in Turkey. Thank you very much for everything, especially for donating on our behalf. Stay healthy!

Elmas Taştan Translator

You are the best translation comapny engaged in the business I have known in Turkey. I hope Mirora continues to get better and bigger.
