About A to Z Language
Services
This page
contains a presentation of what the company is about, to give you an idea of
who I am and what I do, and to provide an insight into the world of translation
and interpretation.
About
myself: a native of Vienna, Austria, I graduated from secondary school with
honours in 1977 and enrolled at the Department of Translation and Interpreting
of Vienna University the same year. After having studied 9 years of English and
4 years of French at school, I decided to start studying my C language,
Hungarian, from scratch. I graduated from university in 1982 and started
working as a translator, interpreter and language instructor, with German (the
language I grew up with) obviously being my A language, with English as a B
language (the language from which and into which I translate and interpret) and
two C languages, Hungarian and French, as I had continued studying and
practising the latter (the C languages are the languages from which I translate
and interpret into A and B). Italian as a C language was added to the list
later on.
I worked
as a staff translator and interpreter for the Federal Press Service, a
governmental agency at the Federal Chancellery, and the Interpol unit at the
Ministry of the Interior (in the UK, Interpol is a unit of the Home Office, in
the United States it forms part of the Ministry of Justice). My experience as
an interpreter included official visits at ministerial level (
A little
more personal note: I am married and have a young daughter. When she was born I
decided to resign from my position as a civil servant and start a business of
my own to have more flexible working hours.
About
Fastword - A to Z Language Services:
We offer
professional services which we either provide ourselves or by tapping the
reservoirs of the four professional associations which I am a member of – AIIC
(the International Association of Conference Interpreters, known for specially
high professional standards), UNIVERSITAS (the Austrian Association of
Translators and Interpreters), ÖVDG (the Austrian Association of Court
Interpreters) and Übersetzergemeinschaft (the Austrian Association of Literary
Translators). As I said earlier: we will be happy to attend to your needs and find
a tailor-made solution.
