Hungarian translation and interpreting from Budapest, Hungary

Hungary: A brief cultural background

Hungary was established as a kingdom in 1000 AD and has always been subject to global movement. It was attacked by the Mongolians in the thirteenth century, occupied by the Turks between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, later occupied by the Habsburg Empire, and in the twentieth century by the armies of the Soviet Union. Some of the country formed part of a province of the Roman Empire called Pannonia, bordered to the east and the north by the River Danube.

Hungary joined NATO in 1999, the EU in 2004, and has been part of the Schengen Zone since the end of 2007.

About the Hungarian economy

The forint, the Hungarian currency, has been volatile in the past decade.
The economy is driven by exports chiefly to Germany, the rest of the EU, and the USA. Ties to China are also significant.
Many multinational companies have regional centres in Hungary from which they can easily access the western part of Europe and the Balkans.

About the region

The recent history of the region: A brief overview

In 1989, with the collapse of the Iron Curtain dividing Europe, trade relations were re-established within the countries of the region and also between them and the rest of the world. With many countries joining the EU, alongside the economic upsurge of China, international focus on the region has further strengthened. At the outbreak of the 2008 global financial crisis, many companies and countries in the region responded by doubling their export efforts.

The nations of the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region use various languages that differ widely.

English and German are frequently used on an international level.
The Russian language is also significant, mainly for historic reasons.
Romanian is classified as a Romance language along with Spanish, Italian and French.
Many nations speak Slavic languages.
Countries including Bulgaria, Ukraine and Macedonia use some form of the Cyrillic alphabet while in Serbia and Bosnia & Herzegovina Cyrillic is used alongside the Latin script.
Hungarian is described by many sources as one of the most difficult languages to learn. Language software developer Rosetta Stone discourages learners who are thinking of learning the language and buying its recently published Hungarian CD-ROM.

These factors contribute to an excitingly diverse region with thriving international relations.
