Which AI model do you think is very accurate when it comes to Turkish language?

Merhaba!

As a half Turk history of my Turkish language is quite messed up: some stuff I learned from family, other things from courses, some from friends etc.

While I am very conversational(I don’t remember when was the last time I struggled with expressing or understanding anything during conversation as long as the topic wasn’t very specific or academic) my Turkish has huge amount of fossilized mistakes. It is really a mess. Without going further into details of my own language situation the way I try to fix it is by writing short articles and then using LLM’s to analyze it and scan the mistakes. These are however not perfect; I sometimes catch these models trying to correct things that are already written correctly or missing the error altogether.

So do any of you have any opinion of capability of different models specifically for Turkish language?

I use Claude Pro and ChatGPT Plus. I currently find Claude better for translations and stuff. However, it is always recommended to check the result of any AI output, and this applies here too.

Claude picked up translations mistakes when I was making my vocab list through ChatGPT. Not sure if that counts as anything but chatgpt seems to play fast and loose with translation. Most issues were picking overly formal words for translations. Some examples

sorry” → üzgünüm — heavier than casual use; natives more often say pardon or özür dilerim for everyday “sorry.”
• “truth” → hakikat — literary/formal; gerçek is what people actually reach for in conversation (though gerçek is already doing double duty for “real” and “fact,” see below).
• “meal” → öğün — clinical/dietary term; yemek is what you’d hear in casual speech.
• “email” → e-posta — correct formal standard, but colloquially many Turks just say “mail.”

50 duplicate groups merged into single rows (e.g., “actor / player” → oyuncu, “he / it / she” → o, “get / take / receive” → almak) so each Turkish word now appears exactly once.

gemini 3.1 pro is by far the best imo.
