You maybe check your passing of the language environment from ssh-client  
and sshd-server.

If you want to pass the language environment than make sure that  
/etc/ssh/ssh_config in the client includes the line
SendEnv LANG LC_*

and that /etc/ssh/sshd_config in the server includes the line
AcceptEnv LANG LC_*

and that you have the same hungarian language files present on server and  
client side.üDAndreas

Szia!
