Business-activity translations

Post by plebensold »

Hi:

Almost a day of going through the various Polish business directories indexed here (thanks again, Logan!) has left me with a longish list of business descriptions (and abbreviations of business descriptions) that I would dearly love to have translated (Polish -> English). To wit:
  • Sklady maki i kaszy
    Hurtowe sklady blachy
    Fabr. i skl. wyr. bronzown.
    fabr. blachy bialej.
    Blacha biala i wyroby litograficzne na blasze
    Skladu
    Roczna produkcja
    fabryka tektury smolowcowej. smoly gazowej i asfaltu
    Platerowanych Wyrobow Sklady
    Smoly I Przetworow Sklady
    hand. zelaza
    tandeciarz
    firmy zarejestrowane
    faktor wolow
(I suspect there is some duplication, and I apologize for not being able to insert the correct diacritical marks, and that l with the line through it.)

If anyone here can help, it would certainly be very much appreciated.

Assuming you have already checked the occupation translation resources in the first post in this forum, you could also try machine translation at:

Machine translation probably will not work for abbreviations. To decipher abbreviations, check the occupation translation resources for words that could fit the abbreviations.

Here's my take on it. Tandeciarz is a scrap collector, I guess you could say rag and bone man. I have never heard of faktor wolow, but Wołów is a town in the south west of Poland so maybe it is something to do with that. I'll find out the full meaning and get back to you. Hope that helps.

Hi Plebensold,

The word " tandersiaz "means junk, if referring to an industry, or junk master / scrap collector if referring to a person

The word "faktor" means FACTOR; AGENT; GO-BETWEEN; INTERMEDIARY; BROKER

The word "wolow" is a town in South West Poland like Terani says

This is a good translator link that specializes in the Polish language which may be of help in the future :

Hope this helps.

Pierre.
