I have not had very good luck with the Hungarian to English machine translations. However, here are two sites that do that:
http://www.a2zcomms.com/translate.shtml
and
http://www.foreignword.com/Tools/transnow.htm

This is a great site for one word translations. Tedious but much better than the machine translations. It gives you several options.

Note that Hungarian language adds letters to change a word from. Examply: to say something is next to the word in Hungarrian you would have the word with mellett added to it.Such as church is templom. But to say next to the church would be written templommellet which in English looks like a completely different word. So when using the single word translator, try taking letters off from the back one by one until you hit a good word. Then go back and remove them from the front and you will see that your word is there plus the concept of next to.

this free site is good if you want to learn some language yourself.

Good luck! I bought a small Hungarian dictionary with some of the grammer hints like the mellet above and it has made a huge difference in translating Hungarian. But it is not easy and is very tedious.
