We have only been able to look at about 10% of the manuscript in detail. We have chosen these parts at random over 240 pages mostly (with the exception of the last page). We can read every sentence we look at in detail in Turkish. However, almost most of the sentences have some words written in abbreviated form, and there are also words that we cannot find the meaning of in old dictionaries. At the same time, sometimes the semantic content of two different pronunciations of a word continues to function without disturbing the integrity of their sentence. In this case, it is difficult to decide which meaning to take into the translation. A professor linguist said that some words are written with the sound value in archaic form, and he thinks that in this case, they should be read in sentences with different meanings. All these and details such as handwriting difficulties make it difficult to quickly translate all the pages into today's language. However, if the support of Turcologist linguists increases, the process will accelerate.
