In general, this type of use is frequently referred to when the words or names of institutions and organizations are expressed orally or in writing. Especially when there is an institution, organization name or word abbreviation at international level, it is observed that there are some differences between languages. Such differences occur in the methods of creating abbreviations from one language to another in general and in the spoken language. It is obvious that translation is inevitable when there is a language. However, the differences in the formation of abbreviations and inter-linguistic differences bring about some difficulties in translation.

This study aims to examine comparatively the abbreviations used in the international field in terms of spelling and pronunciation in Turkish and French. In this context, French will be accepted as the source language and Turkish will be accepted as the target language.

After mentioning the types of abbreviation and types of forming abbreviations briefly, abbreviations in both languages and their usage will be studied with a comparative method
