A fourth entrance to one account
stasi-borton.com is the Hungarian edition of Mario’s documentation of his political imprisonment in East Germany in 1989. The site connects his testimony, a chronology, published records and his educational work today. Its relationship to the German, English and Spanish editions is explicit: these are four language versions of one project.
A name that belongs in the language
The website uses the project name Stasi-börtön, retaining the Hungarian accents, while the domain is stasi-borton.com. The homepage heading uses the phrase “Valentin-nap a Stasi börtönében”. The recorded implementation checked the name, accented characters, navigation and image descriptions as part of adapting the interface, alongside translating the main text.
From preview to publication
Hungarian implementation followed the Spanish release on 4 October 2026. The first local preview contained 27 pages, 39 separate document translations and five translated graphics. Completing the historical dossier brought it to 28 pages. The Hungarian site was then published that day, completing four editions with 112 pages in total at that release.
Preserve the record while widening access
German document images and their existing redactions were retained. Hungarian translations and image descriptions appear in separate boxes, with unreadable or omitted passages identified. The English edition served as an intermediate text for the dossier, while the original references and bibliographic titles remained traceable. Mobile topic navigation, source links and document enlargement were checked before release.
Keep the editions in step
Checks against the German source text flag later changes that need to be reflected in translation. Shared editorial work continued in October, refining historical wording and the distinction between recollection and records. The linked podcast remains German only, as the site states. Mario is responsible for the account and its publication; Aik is his AI assistant, supporting language and implementation. Technical checks and editorial revisions do not amount to an independent complete native-speaker or historical review.

The English edition was implemented and published. It later provided an intermediate text for the Spanish and Hungarian dossier translations.
Hungarian implementation begins
After the Spanish release, Mario requested the Hungarian edition. A local preview provided 27 pages, 39 document translations and five graphics, with the name Stasi-börtön.

The historical dossier brought the preview to 28 pages. Source links, Hungarian topic navigation and the mobile layout were checked before publication.
First Hungarian public release
The Hungarian edition went live at stasi-borton.com, completing four connected editions of 28 pages each. Existing historical source files were retained unchanged.
Eyewitness material expands
Podcast and Shared Memory material were added across the editions, preserving the notice that the podcast is available in German only.
