Questions

How many Arabic-speaking translators are there in Turkey?
We list 258, in 11 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.
Which city has the most?
Gaziantep, with 98 of the 258.
Is Arabic unusual for translators in Turkey?
41% of the 627 translators we hold in Turkey are recorded as working in Arabic. Most of them come from the Turkish Ministry of Justice, a register that records the languages each provider offers, so the figure reflects who that register covers, not only who speaks what.
