Title: Budapest-Vienna translation problem
Post by: DN on May 10, 2012, 08:48:18 pm
I have just paid (online by VISA) for my tickets from Budapest to Wien (23/5) and back (26/5). I received the confirmation email with the 10digit code but when I tried to translate I found out something bizarre. At the last paragraph the google translation is:
” 1 x Austrian excursion ticket without a return ticket the second local transport class
Valid: 23/05/2012 – 05/26/2012
Price: £ 7,250 (€ 25) ”
Is it a wrong translation or I did something wrong and I have to pay again for a ticket in Vienna for my return journey?
Here is the original text in Hungarian:
” A kód az alábbi jegyek átvételére jogosítja fel:
Budapest-Keleti – Wien Westbf
1 db helyjegy
Vonat: rj 65 Kocsiszám: 21 Hely(ek): 65
Indulás: rj WIEN WEST 05.26 15:54
Ár: 870 Ft (3 €)
1 db helyjegy
Vonat: EN 466 Kocsiszám: 412 Hely(ek): 56
Indulás: EN BUDAPEST KELETI 05.23 19:10
Ár: 870 Ft (3 €)
1 db menetjegy Osztrák kirándulójegy helyi közlekedés nélkül menettérti 2. osztály
Érvényes: 2012.05.23 – 2012.05.26
Ár: 7 250 Ft (25 €) ”
Could anyone, please, translate the last part for me?
Thank you in advance
Dimitris

Everything is fine, don't worry. Phrase 'menetjegy Osztrák kirándulójegy helyi közlekedés nélkül menettérti 2. osztály' just means that this is a return 2nd class 'Tourist'(=kirándulójegy) ticket, which is not valid as pass for Vienna city transport (unlike the one for 33 euro).
While your return journey is safe and sound: there with EN 466 (coach: 412 Seat: 56) and back RJ 65 (coach: 21 Seat: 65). It's a bit puzzling for google to translate correctly, translator just isn't that perfect yet ;)

We always glad to help  :)
The problem here is that google troubles with complicated Hungarian grammatical construction of the sentence, but once you rearrange those words into more usual for English language sequence - osztály 2. menettérti menetjegy, "Osztrák kirándulójegy" helyi közlekedés nélkül , translation will be much more adequate

My Hungarian is rudimentary despite living here, but I find this translater quite good: http://www.acreativedesktop.com/online-language-translator-Hungarian-to-English.html
