I was at a friends today trying to help out with an email problem. They have relatives that are Hungarian, and live in Hungary, and don't speak or write in English. The question: Is it possible to type an email in English and have it arrrive in Hungary in Hungarian?

no, not directly. There are programs and websites that translate text, like
www.babelfish.altavista.com
You have to paste the english paragraphs into the website and specify the language you want to translate to.
then cut and paste the translated text into your e-mail.
Translators don't work that well. they translate literally and miss idoms and expressions.
If you want to see what yo get, try translating something to another language, then using the same tool to translate it back!
See what I mean (eng->spanish->English):

No, you need a translator program. I donīt know whether google does Hungarian, but it might be worth checking.She couldn't tell the difference between the escape pod, and the bathroom. We had to go back for her.........................Twice.Comment

Here's a free translation page. It can translate whole websites, just put in the URL. Not always the most fluent translations but it gets the point across.I reject your reality and substitute my own.Comment

You first need to find out which language the Hungarian relatives speak - it might be German or Magyar. If it is German, that is easy to translate using any of the many places online, such as babelfish at altavista mentioned before or you can go to google and get a translation. If what they speak is Magyar, you can use

just remember that a translator page often literally and directly translates, it doesn't correct grammer. so stuff said normal in english phrasing might be backward in their language even though the words are translated correctly.
an example is; we would say "classic movie" but in spanish it is "pelicula classica" which is "movie classic." a translator will often spit it out as "classica pelicula." which is correct form for english but not for spanish.Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas EdisonComment
