même = even, I don't understand Turkish, but
même was dropped from the English translation.

Thank you all, yes I just take the Turkish original text into consideration and I don't know even a little French. But I did most of the corrections that you have suggested, so I guess it will be alright now.

In the original text the writer seems to think that it is almost impossible to find someone who understands him, so that's why I translate "If there were someone" But I don't know about the French text, so if you say it must be "was" then it's OK.
Thanks to everyone

I'm afraid there is no "even" in Turkish text

Hello,

A tiny remark:
I've received the translation to help with the evaluation; I voted as 'correct', but
I wonder about tenses in the last part as there is a conditional 'if':
"if there was someone who could understand me, this person would, without a doubt, be the one I would fall in love with".

Thank you, Tzicu-Sem!
Yes! The conditional perfect tense is useless here to my opinion.

as I said before... The conditional perfect tense does NOT sound proper in this text.
And you need to put 'without a doubt' between commas if you're reluctant to use an adverb.

Hi All

I agree totally for the use of commas around "without a doubt".

I will add them myself then validate the text.

Thanks for everyone's help here.
