Hi all,

need your precious help again.

What´s the better translation for "financial director".

Thanks in advance

mali işler müdürü or finansal yönetici

 Finans Direktörü

Finans´ten sorumlu Genel Müdür Yardımcısı  (CFO)

or

Finans ve Mali İşlerden sorumlu Genel Müdür Yardımcısı

I would say ; " Mali İşler Müdürü " , since "finansman or finans " are very English to me. 

 Sorry, Burakk, didn´t see yours.

These are fine. I gave alternatives.

You have no idea how many Englishified words come into the Turkish language from bussiness and scientific and art matters. The concepts which we have very detailed vocabulary about become simplified and heads-on with these alien words but we cant seem to remember our own words to describe these alienized jobs and positions that are imported to our bussiness culture from this overglorified fantastic and even mystic overseas capitalist world. Your version is completely fine in this case, if not better.

 To be honest, it is quite funny that in the financial world in Turkey many terms are just imported straight into Turkish from English, and used in preference to some Turkish terms that are rejected because "they sound Arabic". Even the name of one of the best Turkish financial magazines is called Capital (not sermaye!).

This even applies for the takaful banks -- one is called Türkiye Finans Katılım Bankası. Bank Asya used to be called Asya Finans. So we can debate whether Finans is English ... or Turkish ... maybe it is even Islamist?

When you look at a selection of Turkish business cards to see the range of terms used. Sometimes the choice of calling the department Mali İşler or Finans or Finans ve Mali İşler or Finans ve Muhasebe depends more on the image the company is trying to project than anything else. There seems to be no direct correlation between whether the company is Turkish owned or a multinational.

Still, I agree, the Turkish terms are nice, if sadly sometimes seeming to be going out of fashion.

Wow, what a debate!

Thank you all, it seems that translating financial terms are not so easy

Arkadaslar sagolun...
