Abstract :Revision is a part of the translation process, and it has an essential role in shaping the final product. Turkish translation and revision processes of the acts of EU, which concerns Turkey as a candidate country, are discussed in this article. Although the linguistic, technical, and legal revision categories are included, the focal point is the linguistic revision. In this article, it is intended to conduct a considerably specific, original, and distinctive study discussing the translation/revision policy of the Directorate for EU Affairs in Turkey, which is the only authorized institution responsible for the translation/revision process of EU acts. It is searched whether the revised products are mostly foreignized or domesticated. Thus, the final comment and conclusion about the policy of the Directorate for EU Affairs in the revision and finalized texts are discussed. The idea behind this article is to present quantitative and qualitative findings about the translation/revision policy by showing the strategies employed in the translation subjected to revision and in the revision itself. Moreover, it aims to show percentages of the strategies used both in translation and revision by putting them in a supercategory under the concept of domestication and foreignizing. The methodology is based upon translation procedures and translation strategies of domestication and foreignizing which were introduced by Luc van Doorslaer insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2007, as cited in Munday, 2016);. EU acts, whose translations and revisions are completed, are overviewed with a certain year limitation and examples that are worth analyzing are presented in this article. When technical terms create a challenge for revision, French and/or German-language version of the EU acts are referred to. Procedures employed in the translated and revised products are given as statistical data, visualized through a table, and enriched with comments.
