Target language: English

first of all, I'd like to apologize to you both for the incorrect accounting I did I didn't write down the last ride I did because the customer and I argued just because of a wrong turn he insulted me and I was offended I had to let him out of the car without payment he got out of the car insulting me as he went and that's why that ride was lost for nothing I didn't get any money that's why I didn't write it down I am so so sorry about this mistake I made with respect taner
Remarks about the translation
This is a bridge translation.

There were two words I couldn't find in the dictionaries, "rit", which I decided must be "ride" from the context and "dondul", which I decided must be a turn from the context.

The customer could also have been a woman.

The car could also be a taxi, a bus, or a cart of some kind.

Note also that there is no punctuation in the original text.

I think "dondul" is "döndüm" but I'm not sure, it maybe something different with respect to the jargon belonging to that job. "tekrar tekrar özür dilerim" should be "I apologize again and again" and "Taner" is a man's name.

I translated "tekrar tekrar" with "so so" - I think that captures the feeling that he's really sorry.

Taner wasn't capitalized in the original, so I didn't capitalize it in the translation. Is that what you meant?

I interpreted "dondul" the same way you did, didn't I?

ride tur olabilir veya sürüş,seyahat daha uygun gibi.turn cevap olabilir ya da dönüş galiba.

gökberk, orjineli türkçede - onu değiştiremiyoruz. Çeviri ise ingilizcede - onun üzerinde görüşünü istiyorduk.

This is not a meaningful translation. Just translating all the words to some other language can not be approved as a fine work.

kafetzou, a lot of people have said this one's okay!
Can I validate it, or are you still discussing it with someone?

Kafezou, I was expressing ideas and it was unnecessary I think your translation is correct.
