I think there used to be t least one more Hungarian user, "miqlas". Try
an introductory posting to the haiku-i18-hu mailing list or even to the
general [haiku] mailinglist to attempt to join forces.

I can promote you to Manager at HTA if you state your user name there.
I see a "zoltanh721" there though it's marked "Inactive". Maybe the
statistics page there doesn't update any more...

First you could try a few boot options by holding "SHIFT" while booting
and choosing some safe mode options.
If it just doesn't work, see http://dev.haiku-os.org/wiki/ReportingBugs
to find out how to report it as bug. Attaching info as stated under
"Hardware Issues" there is crucial.
If it all doesn't help, there's still the options to run an image in
VirtualBox etc.

The catalogs have to be exported by hand and committed to SVN. Without
compiling images for yourself, it's tricky at the moment to quickly
check your work. Currently there are no nightlies available from
http://www.haiku-files.org/,
but once they are again, you'd have to download one of those, after the
catalogs from HTA have been updated.

Those are strings that were used by the app before, but were changed at
one time. They are still there to be able to copy&paste. Often there
are only minimal changes in strings, sometimes those don't even concern
their translation.
The HTA site isn't very economical in that respect. There have been
efforts to move to a pootle based system, but I don't know when/if we
can make that leap...
