Turkish term or phrase: eli değmek
"İstanbul'da yapımı devam eden lüks otele xxxxx'in eli değdi."

In the sentence above, xxxxx is a firm operating in smart building technologies. And it is wanted to emphasize that the firm had been chosen and worked on that important project. So, what can be used for the expression "eli değdi" which simply means "touching with hand"? Is "touched" suitable?

Explanation:
Burada verilmeyen bilgilerdeki bağlam önemli, bu firma bu binayı tek başına mı tasarladı, yoksa başka firmalarla beraber bu süreçte yer mi aldı? Tek başına yaptı ise tasarladı/designed diyebilirsiniz. Yok eğer süreçte yer almış ise took part in diyebilirsiniz.

have a hand in


Explanation:
Merhaba,

Kaynak metindeki ifade hatalı olmakla birlikte, söylenmek isteneni hepimiz doğru anlıyoruz, diye düşünüyorum :)

"XXX has (or has had) a hand in the luxury hotel currently being built in Istanbul."

İyi çalışmalar
