Bio
30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AS A FULL-TIME FREELANCE TECHNICAL TRANSLATOR (DE-HU, EN-HU, NL-HU)

During the last 3 decades I've been working as a German, English, Dutch > Hungarian technical translator in different fields, like tech. engineering, agricultural machinery,  manuals for operation, repair and maintenance of production lines and equipment, etc. My major field of expertise is automotive technology and agricultural machine industry. I have provided translation for Audi, GM, Ford, Mercedes, Volkswagen, John Deere, Wacker Neuson, Kverneland, Fendt, etc. 

I have also taken part in long term technical interpreting projects. 

I studied literary translation at ELTE University, so it was a great pleasure to translate the novel of WWI Austro-Hungarian submarine commander Georg von Trapp: "Bis zum letzten Flaggenschuss"; published in 2017.
