Title
The first attempts to undertake city planning for Ankara
Translation
English

Translated by ToprakA
Target language: English

The first attempts to undertake city planning for Ankara starts with plans commissioned by the Heussler Company, with a 1924 plan for Old Ankara (the fort and its surroundings) and a 1925 one for Yenisehir. Both of these are by the Berlin architect Dr. Carl Ch. Lorcher, who is a member of the Istanbul Development Commission. The plan for the old city was not found appropriate since it was decided that it was not implementable. On the other hand, the Yenisehir plan, also known as the "Lorcher Plan", which encompasses 150 hectares surrounding today's Sihhiye, was implemented.
Remarks about the translation
Longer sentences should really be broken into smaller ones when translating them into English. Modern American English does not favor long sentences.

Ahmet, my text with some corrections:

The first attempts to undertake city planning for Ankara starts with plans commissioned by the Heussler Company, with a 1924 plan for Old Ankara (the fort and its surroundings) and a 1925 one for Yenisehir, both of which are by the Berlin architect Dr. Carl Ch. Lorcher, who is a member of the Istanbul Development Commission. The plan for the old city was not found appropriate since it was decided that it was not implementable. On the other hand, the Yenisehir plan, also known as the "Lorcher Plan", which encompasses 150 hectares surrounding today's Sihhiye, was implemented.

I still feel something is wrong in the last sentence though.. hmm..

The problem is that the Turkish original is using too many clauses and we are trying to use the same structure in English. Even in the original Turkish version, the first sentence is difficult to understand.

You have improved my last sentence by breaking it into two sentences.

Yes, let's break up another one:
The first attempts to undertake city planning for Ankara starts with plans commissioned by the Heussler Company, with a 1924 plan for Old Ankara (the fort and its surroundings) and a 1925 one for Yenisehir. Both of these are by the Berlin architect Dr. Carl Ch. Lorcher, who is a member of the Istanbul Development Commission.

Shall I replace your version with what I wrote? Is that ok for you?

Unfortunately "plans in care of the H..." is not an appropriate translation.

Why not?
It is " eliyle; in care of "

Translating what you wrote back to Turkish, you are saying the following: "Heussler firmasinin gozetimindeki planlar".

"eliyle" could have been "tarafindan" or "-ince" ("firmasinca" ).

If you take the clause in the middle out it becomes clearer:

"Ankara için ilk planlama denemeleri Heussler firması eliyle [..] Berlinli mimar Dr. Carl
Ch. Lörcher’e yaptırılan planlar ile baslar."

Ahmet, Ahmet... I already set direct links on the forum area , and I'll add this one as well, (if you don't mind), but please do not post links in the discussion areas from the translations. It is not allowed here on

Thank you, best regards,
