TranslationCentralEurope.com BridgeHead Established in the USA

3V Systems, Inc. launched www.translationcentraleurope.com on October 15, 2005, to provide high-quality language services to US-based organizations with ties to the new EU member states. Operations in Silicon Valley are allied to MULTI-LINGUA, Inc., a proven translation agency founded in Budapest, Hungary, in 1982.

(PRWEB) October 17, 2005 -- TranslationCentralEurope (http://www.TranslationCentralEurope.com) BridgeHead Established in the USA.

Central Europe, and the new EU member states in particular, represent a rapidly emerging market for North America. This has created a growing demand among businesses, intellectual property entities, government agencies and non-government organizations (NGOs), for high-quality secure and reliable translation to and from this entirely new group of languages.

That's where 3V Systems, Inc., with corporate headquarters in Petaluma, California and its bridgehead http://www.TranslationCentralEurope.com, operating from Silicon Valley, come in. We take the hassle out of finding the right translators and provide fast and easy access to this key European market.

TranslationCentralEurope.com is the only address you need for all translation projects involving Central and Eastern European languages - but that is only half the story. 3V Systems, Inc. works hand in hand with a Budapest-based European agency that has grown up with the translation business. MULTI-LINGUA Inc., http://www.lingua.hu one of Hungary's leading translation and interpretation agencies, was established in 1982, the year the first private companies sprung up in the former “Eastern Block”. The company has always placed great emphasis on communication, innovation and satisfying new translation markets.

Thanks to this innovative new partnership between East and West, you get the best of both worlds.

TranslationCentralEurope.com takes care of customer service and support, quality control and accountability in the US. Its brief also includes pricing, project management, billing and resolution of any legal or contractual issues. Meanwhile, MULTI-LINGUA's network of specialist translators - all based in their native countries - ensures up-to-date and precise use of language, and in-depth background knowledge of languages and cultures.

More about our European bridgehead:

Since MULTI-LINGUA, Inc. was formed, the Iron Curtain has been replaced by the global village, marking bridges between business, nations and cultures more important than ever. In that time, technology has also moved on. The Budapest-headquartered company makes full use of the latest software packages and translation aids, as well as taking a proactive involvment in the development of online terminology databases used by all over Hungary - and by its extensive network of translators throughout New Europe.

MULTI-LINGUA's reputation as an early adopter dovetailed with technology companies – the agency has played a key role in a host of software localization projects. "Microsoft was among the first companies to recognize the importance of shipping software in the language that its users understand," explains MULTI-LINGUA CEO Laszlo J. Vegso. His company was involved in the project to translate the first Hungarian version of Windows 3.1, establishing the IT terminology used in Hungary today. More recently, MULTI-LINGUA worked with Nokia to localize the user interface for its cell phones.

Hungary's admission into the European Union has brought challenges of a different kind. The first of these was the Herculean task of translating vast volumes of constitutional documents into Hungarian, a project which ran from 1998 to 2004. MULTI-LINGUA was instrumental in building a clear and comprehensive database of over 23,000 legal terms, complete with the necessary approval workflows. This forms the basis for all translations performed today.

The ambitious agency's next goal is to extend its services to the rapidly emerging market for translations to and from Central European languages in North America. "On September 1, we added an office in Silicon Valley (the administrative headquarters 3V Systems, Inc. are in Petaluma, CA) to complement MULTI-LINGUA, which has been around for almost a quarter of a century. The TranslationCentralEurope.com website, which went live on October 15, allows us to leverage today's communications technologies to work closely with our network of translators based in Central Europe. If requried by the customer, translations can also be performed by our hand-picked group of US citizens with relevant language skills. Ultimate responsibility for quality control ensuring accountability lies with our team in the US," says Vegso.

The bridge to Central and Eastern Europe is now open for business.
