Language Services

Procuring high-quality language services is an investment in your company's or your own future. Accurate translation and consistency in term usage builds value for your brand, establishes a positive image, and promotes customer acceptance. Hence, besides translation and interpreting, I offer proofreading and terminology management services.

My wide experience in translation as well as desktop publishing and my proficiency on both Mac and PC platforms in all of the widely-used software programs ensure delivery of the highest-quality materials. Please contact me for further information on my services or to request an obligation-free quote.

I offer translations from English or German into Hungarian in both my specialty and my working fields . As my native language is Hungarian, I offer proofreading services only in that language.

Also, I proofread general texts and texts in my specialty fields only, because I believe that translated texts always should be proofread by someone who brings expertise on the matter in question.

I support almost all possible source file formats and can also translate websites or contribute to software localisation. Moreover, I can translate documents that are only available in PDF format.

In addition to my translation services, I offer terminology management services that may include the following:

  • Identification of the client’s terminology needs
  • Collection of existing glossaries and/or translated documents
  • Evaluation of existing glossaries
  • Terminology extraction
  • Creation of new glossaries
  • Establishing custom term translations
  • Adding extra information, such as definitions, examples, antonyms, synonyms, pictures
  • Conversion of glossaries to term bases
  • Export of term bases
  • Update of existing term bases
  • Term base maintenance
Document Types
  • Technical specification, data and instruction sheets
  • User guides and manuals
  • Websites or software
  • Newsletters or brochures
  • Press releases or reports
  • Presentations
  • CVs and letters
  • Articles, term papers or theses
  • Books
Source/Target File Formats:
  • Word
  • Excel
  • Power Point
  • InDesign
  • Rich or Plain Text
  • HTML or XML
  • PDF
  • Scanned documents

I offer competitive pricing based on the format, size, and theme of your document as well as the complexity and urgency of the job. Prices for translation and proofreading are usually calculated per word of source text. Prices for terminology management are usually charged at an hourly rate. Extra charges are applied for weekend and over-night work, for the translation of documents in PDF format, or for any jobs that require "special treatment" in terms of translating or editing.

Your payment is usually due 15–30 days from successful completion of the job. I invoice in euros (EUR), payable to my bank account in Austria.
