Szatmáry László  helped translate Planet Four into Hungarian/Magyar . Here’s more about  László in Magyar and English:

So, I’m an Application Specialist in a Hungarian software company and a beginner amateur astronomer. I’m participated in numerous Zooniverse projects and I think it is a great way to help science and scientist in their works. I have only one bigger experience in translating, I was one of the Hungarian translators of Chess.com. I’m interested in sports, chess, stars and environment defense.

Alkalmazástechnikai szakember vagyok egy magyar szoftvervállalatnál illetve kezdő amatőrcsillagász. Több Zooniverse projektben is részt veszek, szerintem ez egy hatalmas lehetőség a tudomány és tudósok segítésére. Jelentősebb fordítói tapasztalatom eddig a Chess.com magyarítása volt, itt egy voltam a többi fordító között. Érdekel a sport, a sakk, a csillagok és a környezetvédelem.
