Information is first translated into English and then from English in the other language(s). This often happens even for common fields and rather common language pairs, and not only because of a lack of translators but also because of the cost aspect.
For instance for cosmetics: Japanese > English > all other languages.
Or for financial information: French > English > Dutch.

Besides that, translators in rare language pairs are often allround translators. The first problem is to find a good translator, and then to have him specialize in that special field.




Its better to get it translate into English first and then into Hungarian. Some time you will not find accurate translation of specific terms in target language, but you if you translate that terms into English first then i might be easy to find in target languages.

I prefer to got with Japanese>English and then into Hungarian.

One of the early moderators on this site translated from Japanese to Hungarian. Apr 28, 2014

And she is easy enough to find.

I suspect she doesn't work in nuclear technology, but if you really had a job like that, I would recommend asking her to advise you about getting a team together like the one my husband worked with.

That is how a lot of translation started, and how the pioneers worked.

Once you get away from mainstream languages, that is still how it has to be done!

I doubt there is any translators association in the country involved. And even if there is one, there might not be a directory on its website.

Then it would be good to try and contact the embassy for the related country in your country and ask if they can give you the contact of a translator/interpreter...
