Well, people shouldn't be required to know any other language to use a device they buy while translation is not impossible.

Each import product must be shipped to customers with a Turkish UI, labels, UG etc. according to laws.

Also we were charged 3 SMSs while sending 1 SMS with 160 chars including special Turkish chars (because of UTF-16 char encoding), so phones are now required to support 7-bit Turkish SMS char set which is approved by 3GPP last year.
