  In the Turkish language, the Footer option ‘A WordPress website’ is incorrectly translated as ‘Bir WordPress sitenin’. This is incorrect. In Turkish, it should be ‘Bir WordPress sitesi’. ‘sitenin’ is a possessive that needs a proper complement, such as ‘a website’s (bir sitenin) color scheme (renk paleti) . . . .’ The -si suffix, on the other hand, ‘relates’ the noun ‘site / website’ to a preceding noun or noun phrase, here it’s ‘WordPress’. It’s the way agglutinative languages work.
