    Your key to the Hungarian market

    As technology evolves, the market is becoming ever more competitive and the opportunities for companies wanting to sell their products are plentiful. But it's not enough to just have a great product or talented employees; any business seeking success needs to also have solid product documentation. And that's where I come in.

     

    I'm highly experienced in helping businesses create effective product documentation – whether it's technical manuals, online tutorials, white papers, case studies or other marketing materials – I will ensure that whatever you try to sell on the Hungarian market is presented in the best possible way. With my help, you can be sure that all of your product documentation will capture the attention of your target audience and leave them informed and confident about what they are buying.

    Pro work, pro results

    Building a successful product doesn't stop with engineering and coding. In order to truly create an amazing product, your documentation needs to be just as good. The best engineering teams understand that, and strive to make their documentation deliver the same quality as their development efforts. Your team has done a great job on the design, build and development of your product - now it's time for the documentation to catch up.

    How did I get ahead the rest of the crowd as a text creator

    Translation

    Translator agencies say that a client can choose two out of speed, quality and price. Since now you can deal directly with the translator, the actual linguist working with your document, you can pick any three of these.


    5,000 words translated a day. Perfect quality and a price without intermediary surcharges. All in one package, for you, directly from the Hungarian translator.

    Technical Writer

    My engineering background, experience of working with technical documentation and familiarity with content managing and desktop publishing tools provides you the best manuals. Ever.

     

    Your documentation is a vital part of the product you deliver. You already have an awesome product, why not make an extra step to impress your customers?

    Proofreading

    Grammar nazi is an annoying thing in social media and one of the most frequent genre of troll, but in the translation industry this is actually a great advantage.

    When talking about coherence and grammar, I aim no less than perfect quality. The Hungarian translation of your documents should be as flawless as your products are.

    Localization

    This process is the adaptation of your product to meet the needs of the language and culture of your target audience..

    Avoid common potholes of the process by trusting localization to a graduated and practicing engineer, who is working local technicians every day; someone, who can actually build a CNC from a broken bicycle and a pair of scissors.

    CAT expert

    Reuse your bits and pieces of text translated earlier, saving time and money. Given the fact that technical documentation tends to be 50% self-repetitive, you can easily do the math how much this can save you.

     

    Being an advanced Computer Aided Translation (CAT) user allows me to handle your complex language requirements efficiently, while maintaining consistency and uniform terminology through the whole text.

    DTP expert

    You have your documents in some old and odd file format, what all linguist refused to touch? The layout seems to be broken and hopeless to work with? You have no idea how to edit a text document?

    Give it a chance and let my hands put on it, the text processing nerd. I am sure I can prepare it and proceed with the Hungarian translation.

    Oil stained

    My hands alternately touch keyboard and WD40, mouse and torque wrench, spellchecker and laser engraver. I also come from a family of engineers. Does it run on air, oil or electricity? Fine. You name it. I build it. Just for fun, what else?

     

    My technical and engineering geekiness is not just a theoretical knowledge, but something used every single day to recharge my translation batteries.
