More Less | Sample translations submitted: 3English to Hungarian: electric engineering (generators)
Detailed field: Electronics / Elect Eng | Source text - English
The generator will start up when the mains imported power (measured through an optional Power Transducer = PT) exceeds a defined level. The generator will synchronise with the bus, and will take load until the defined allowable mains imported power level is reached. When the mains imported power decreases below the defined mains imported power level for a defined time, the generator will unload and disconnect from the bus. Then the generator will go into cool down. | Translation - Hungarian
A generátor akkor indul be, ha a hálózati áramforrás által átvett áram (az opcionális áramátalakítón (PT) mérve) meghalad egy meghatározott szintet. A generátor szinkronizál a gyűjtősínnel, majd átveszi a terhelést, amíg a hálózati áramforrás által átvett áram a meghatározott megengedhető szintű áramerősségét el nem érte. Amikor a hálózati áramforrás által átvett áramellátás a meghatározott áramerősségi szint alá esik egy meghatározott időn keresztül, a generátor átadja a terhelést és szétkapcsol a gyűjtősínről. Ezt követően generátor lehűl és kikapcsol. | English to Hungarian: bank acquisition - legal text

Regardless of the pressure that I put you under, you have been very pleasant to work with at all times (even in the middle of the night!). I can't express how much I appreciated that.
You have done a superb job, the translation was of a superior quality and the client complimented us on that. They were very impressed by the work we did.
Again, it has been a pleasure working with you and I look forward to working with you again. Rest assured you are at the top of my list of Hungarian linguists. I will recommend you to my colleagues without hesitation. "
