Did the initial announcement come on the 13th or the 14th of August 2018, and does the proper translation add-up to "products and services" or just "products"? The announcement came through in English by a non-Asian newsmedia on the 14th, but did not mention Israeli electronic products and services.
@James Bateaux: Please make an wp:edit request or start a discussion on this in a new section to change the spelling.

Please add a {{talkref}} to keep the citation in this section; I added one below. Thank you Adakiko (talk) 19:43, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
WP:USEENGLISH refers to transliteration to English of names in non Latin scripts, such as Cyrillic, Greek, Thai, Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese or Devanagari. However, Turkish is written with the Latin alphabet, just like English. The fact that the English language hardly ever uses the many diacritics available for Latin alphabets is irrelevant. Diacritics only indicate how specific letters are to be pronounced or stressed when spoken in the original language, but they don't make the text more difficult for English readers to read or understand; they just provide additional information and show the correct spelling in that language. In this specific case, when the "ğ" appears between an "o" and an "a", it is silent, so his name is produced as "Erdoan", with equal stress on the "o" and the "a". However, in other positions, the "ğ" may be a soft "g", sounding more like a "j" or a "w". Thomas Blomberg (talk) 18:27, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
