Turkish.

Question:
Is the speaker offering to give one of the two choices ("Which do you want?" "Apples, please." "Here you are." "Thank you."), or is s/he simply asking a preference?

Asking a preference.

Thank you. Then maybe the Japanese translation needs to be corrected.

Sorry to bother you again. arnab says ([#3476960]) that you can use this sentence in a text like this. Would you agree?
"Do you want some fruits? Hangisini tercih edersin, elmaları mı yoksa muzları mı?" "I'll take apples, please."

How about just unlink the sentences if there isn't anyone here to validate the link (to Japanese?). Sentences shouldn't just be roughly similar, they should be translations of one another.
I suggest erring on the side of caution.

Let me help in this case. Duran has some problems to solve, as far as I know.
''''The question is:
Does the Turkish also mean, "Which would you like, apples or bananas?" or "Which do you want, an apple or a banana?"
Can it be used when asking for one's preference when offering something to eat?''''
No, the Turkish sentence does not mean "Which would you like, apples or bananas?" or "Which do you want, an apple or a banana?"
It's all about preference and it can be used when asking for one's preference when offering something to eat.
Ve bence elmaları mı yoksa muzları mı bölümü sadece elma mı yoksa muz mu diye değiştirilmeli çünkü geniş zaman cümlesi: biz tekil kullanırız.

I agree with Gulo_Luscos. Thank you.
İsimlerin tekil mi yoksa çoğul mu olacağı teklif edilen şeye bağlı. Eğer birden fazla çeşitli elmalar yada muzlar varsa "Hangilerini tercih edersin, elmalar mı yoksa muzları mı? da denilebilir. Yukarıdaki cümlede "Hangisini tercih edersiniz" ile başladığı için tekil olmalı, bu yüzden değiştirdim.
