yardımcı ekipmanlar

English translation: AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Turkish term or phrase:yardımcı ekipmanlar
English translation:AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT

Turkish term or phrase: yardımcı ekipmanlar

AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT
Explanation:
In telecommunications jargon, yardımcı can have only one meaning and that is "Auxiliary". Take it as granted that this is a reverse translation, i.e. the root of "Yardımcı Ekipmanlar" lies in English, and has been translated into Turkish at one time, finding almost immediately widespread acceptance.

I just can\'t believe that some people here act more like a stubborn student than as a professional translator. A translator is not someone who matches \"words\" having the same or similar meaning in different languages; a professional translator is a fine artist who can look through the eyes of the person/community who is going to read the translated text. A translator does not translate for himself/herself, but for others, and that ought not to be forgotten!!! Please be professional. Thanks.

disagree  Taner Göde: Exactly wrong phrase. Supplementary = İlave olan, bütünleyici, tamamlayan.
15 mins
  -> herhangi bir ekipman zaten ana ekipmana ilave olan onu bütünleyen ve tamamlayan ekimpan demektir :))
agree  1964: Tam aynı değil ama yardımcı ile bu dahi kastedilmiş olabilir, yani diğerlerine ilave -yardımcı =bağlam ve metindeki cümle belirleyecektir

  -> If you are close to the telecommunications world, you will encounter the term "AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT" and not something with "supplementary" or "helpdesk". Be real. Give answers that you have seen in the real world. Thanks for being neutral.
disagree  ustaoglu: supplementary/auxiliary are similar
12 mins
  -> What??? "supplementary/auxiliary are similar"??? Sorry ustaoğlu, but you miss the whole point! Go to an FM radio station, a TV station, a satellite uplink or just your audio/video system: there you'll see "AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT". A dictionary would OK, too.

  -> Nihayet... Someone who cares. Thanks bro!
agree  Gaye Terzioglu-Booth: This is what is used in Australia in the telecommunications area. Then again, depending on the context it is used in maybe something else might fit better, as you all pointed out.

Standby Equipment


Explanation:
Why not ?
If there is no context.
All of them may be true an likely.
Türçesi geniş anlamda ve hatta hatalı dahi kullanılmış olabilir.
Ama eminim cümle-metin elimizde olsa hepimiz grçekten tam doğru olanı önerebilirdik.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
standby: 1. In computer and communications systems operations, pertaining to a power-saving condition or status of operation of equipment that is ready for use but not in use. Note: An example of a standby condition is a radio station operating condition in which the operator can receive but is not transmitting. 2. Pertaining to a dormant operating condition or state of a system or equipment that permits complete resumption of operation in a stable state within a short time. 3. Pertaining to spare equipment that is placed in operation only when other, in-use equipment becomes inoperative. Note: Standby equipment is usually classified as (a) hot standby equipment, which is warmed up, i.e., powered and ready for immediate service, and which may be switched into service automatically upon detection of a failure in the regular equipment, or (b) cold standby equipment, which is turned off or not connected to a primary power source, and which must be placed into service manually.
