Economy of words is an important principle in good writing. It is a great skill for Turkish to English translators. Because many Turkish authors tend to use long-winded sentences. Articles and press releases contain a lot of junk / repeated words. And grammatically, Turkish language is heavily based on names and auxillary verbs.
