négynyomúsítás

Yeah I do worry about this. Can we ever learn to write in an acquired language? Would they print my article in a British newspaper? It is not unheard of, you know, think Nabokov or Joseph Conrad. And on practical level, there are decent tools out there for English, collocation dictionaries and stuff, and the internet...

No offence meant. I do understand that aspect. Likewise, for some specialized texts, it is better to have an expert non-native do the work, with a native English speaker then proofreading the translation. As for the reason why there are not more native (GB) English speakers of Czech/Slovak, my (highly subjective) view is that things went downhill when UK universities started introducing pick’n’mix modules (mid to late 90s?), following on from the coursework/project-oriented change of direction in O-levels (> GCSEs) and A-levels. As a result, I would venture that these days fewer students study Czech and Slovak comprehensively (lang., lit., history, culture, politics…).

Unfortunately, native English linguist do not seem to satisfy the demand... Wonder why that might be?

Yes, rosetta stones are always very useful. I love bilingual sites.

By the way, I had no intention of casting doubts on your capability to translate into Czech, regardless if you actually perform it. After all, I have seen your fully qualified answers in this forum.

Anyway, thanks for the answers, you've made my day ;)

Sorry for the mistake in language pair :)

You can probably loosely translate most things with Google (not GT) - GT won’t help you with “négynyomúsítás”. For that you need the two documents: http://www.gvh.hu/gvh/alpha?do=2&st=3&pg=218&m299_doc=5546&m...
and http://www.gvh.hu/gvh/alpha?do=2&st=2&pg=133&m5_doc=5546
. I know you mean it tongue in cheek, but I wouldn't translate into Czech/Slovak, despite studying the languages/lit./history for my degree, and despite living in Czecho for 20 years and using Czech as the language of communication with my wife. I've never understood the concept "I've lived in a foreign country for ten years so I am competent to translate into that country's language".

You might consider adopting a new motto "I'll translate EVERYTHING (with small help of my friend GT)":-))))

According to Google Translate and a bit of detective work it means something like "strengthening and paving of a four-lane road extension"

Hungarian.

19:25 Jul 16, 2013 

Please move your request to correct language pair. It is Hungarian, I guess.

19:25 Jul 16, 2013 

This is Hungarian for sure:)

19:24 Jul 16, 2013 

To je asi omyl s tou Slovenčinou.

19:24 Jul 16, 2013 

It sounds like Hungarian...
