  2. Open Yomitan settings → Dictionaries → import a Hungarian dictionary file (.zip in Yomitan’s dictionary format).

  3. Set the scan key (default Shift + hover) and test on any Hungarian news site.

Hungarian support: better than you’d expect

Section titled “Hungarian support: better than you’d expect”

Hungarian is one of Yomitan’s officially supported languages, and a free HU→EN dictionary converted from Wiktionary (kty-hu-en) is ready to import — details and setup in Dictionaries for Yomitan.

Deinflection (resolving házambanház) is implemented for Hungarian, with the caveat that depth varies — some long suffix chains still miss. The dictionaries page covers the workarounds.
