ABOUT EDMF
EDMF offers you authentic, reliable and cost-effective translation, proofreading and interpreting services.
Founder and owner Douglas Arnott graduated with an MA Degree in Translation and Interpreting (German, French) with Honours of the First Class at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland.
After adding Hungarian to his working languages he translated and interpreted using all three languages in the fields of finance, economics, business and law. The company has grown dynamically in recent years and is able to offer its translation and interpreting services in a much wider range of areas with the help of highly trained and experienced translators and interpreters.

We have served our partners for more than 18 years in 20 countries with 150 highly educated and experienced professional translators. Since 1998 our clients have engaged us with more than 15,000 orders.
You can trust us with translations as well as interpreting services in any field, such as finance, legal, technical or even medical.
We handle economic reports, contracts, annual reports, technical specifications, websites, audit and consulting documents, information materials, official letters and certificates but also personal texts with the same diligence and care.
Our interpreting services can be used both nationwide and around the world, at conferences, small group meetings, workshops and factory visits.
Our tailored partner programme applies to all our interpreting, translation and proofreading services. If we enter into a long-term relationship with our partners, we provide them with individual and customised discounts based on extremely beneficial framework agreements.
As a committed partner of the British Chamber of Commerce in Hungary, members of the BCCH receive discounts on their translations.
Business success frequently depends on the right choice of words. But simply translating a text is often not enough. This is why EDMF provides further added value.
• The goals and needs of our partners are most important for our team.
• We adapt to the given business area.
• We have a stringent quality assurance system, which guarantees that we always provide the highest quality service possible.
• We take the target language as well as cultural customs of the target country into account.
• We always look at the entire meaning of the text to be translated and authentically convey its equivalent in the translation.
• Our state-of-the-art software technology can even reduce the duration of the working process to one-third, and often cuts translation costs by more than 50%.
• We treat every task as a project, monitoring the entire process from choosing a competent translator, through quality assurance to ensuring appropriate antivirus protection of documents.
• If required, we can deliver your texts ready for printing (DTP)
Our general terms and conditions explain that our translations faithfully reflect the content of the original and the thoughts and meanings you wished to convey.
If this is not the case, we shall reimburse you 100% of the fee you paid for your order.
We treat every task as a project, monitoring the entire process from choosing a competent translator, through quality assurance to ensuring appropriate antivirus protection of documents. If required, we can deliver your texts ready for printing (DTP), thereby avoiding any potential mistakes due to graphic design work. The owner of our translation agency is an expert in this field by profession, and is therefore able to discuss industry issues both with clients and professional translators on an informed basis.
Our interpreting services can be used internationally too.
We can arrange interpreting in foreign countries for international conferences and trade exhibitions. We can provide professionals for small and large group meetings, training courses, workshops and factory visits. We can also help with simultaneous interpreting during the training of your staff with new machinery for example.
Our integrated customer management system means we can reduce the duration of the workflow from translation to delivery to even one-third. Our system records separate term bases for different sectors, with words and expressions approved in advance and on an ongoing basis with you. It then finds matches during subsequent translations, shortening the process and the size of the source text for translation, thereby giving you significant cost-savings.
The translation accuracy of professional texts is guaranteed by our strict, multi-tiered quality management system. Mother-tongue proficiency, specialist knowledge and native-speaker proofreading combine to make our translations even more reliable. Our international network means we can solve translations virtually anywhere in the world, even multi-language translations and interpreting between different countries, urgently if necessary. With us, protecting your information and confidentiality begin right at the start, when requesting a quote. There are no hidden costs, and we are happy to provide a short test translation if required.
