Hello! For some time I have been listening to the Hungarian dub for Danny Elfman's This is Halloween, and I really like, but I don't know the words, so I would like to get it translated, thank you.

Here's the song:

Thank you, but the Hungarian version is unique; could you atleast translate from 1.42 to 1.47 ? :3
It's only one sentence

"És mikor azt kérded: Hé ki van ott? Én leszek ott, csak én vagyok ott. Én vagyok árnyék a síron túl, Megrémül s a hajadba túr."

And when you ask: 'Hey, who is there?' I'll be there, I am only there. I am a shadow beyond the grave.  Struck with horror and ruffle through your hair.

PS: In the last sentence I couldn't quite find out who is talking and referring to who, but I hope this approximation is enough for you.

This is Helloween

Dear guests, lookee, all of you
Wicked Grinch is sharpening his knife for you
Come on in, it's better inside than outside
Halloween welcomes you
This is Halloween, it's already Halloween
Jack-o'lantern, which hides a candle
This is Halloween, all of them are frenzied dudes
If there's no chocolate, don't be surprised, if we cheat
This is how it'll be, this chocolate is due to me
Halloween is waiting for you today
I hide under the bed and I'm peeking from there
I stare with pointed teeth and glowing red eyes
I am who peeps under the stares
My fingers like snakes drag you into the depths
This is Halloween :// 2x
Halloween :// 4x
If you lived here what would you hear?
A pumpkin song soars on bat wings
Our city, dust alights on the walls
Dust covers the surprise waiting for you

Hey, you shaman moon mother,

there are two terms in Hungarian: jogállam and also demokratikus jogállam. Could anyone tell me, what's the initial meaning of this word - jogállam, precisely is it british "Rule of Law" or german "Rechtstaat"? Can I translate the first term as the Rule of Law and the second as "democratic constitutional State"?

Answer:

by Heflamoke (DE/RS), 2013-09-02, 22:31   Spam?  

Yes you got it right.

jogállam = Rechtsstaat / state of law

demokratikus = democratic

see also here

dict.cc: Rechtsstaat

Which one you choose, depends on the context.

I don't know for what exactly you need this but I recommend a professional translation if it's even close to important. Legal texts are hard to translate without knowing the appr. terms in the other language. Most Hungarian laws are translated by the EU or by lawyers. You can probably google it.

I noticed we have a little problem with the military ranks in the United Staates and in the United Kingdom.

For example: a sergeant in US has not the same military rank as a sergeant in UK.

I try to correct the inputs with the help of Wikipedia, but I'm not a specialist for military ranks. So I suggest to use the NATO-Codes to specify the Inputs.....

Any comments?

Answer:

by Heflamoke (DE/RS), 2013-08-29, 23:36   Spam?  

I try to avoid to vote on anything like that because Nato vs US vs UK vs any other army/country is just confusing. The translations we had HU->X were "common" ranks that are about the same or have the same a linguistic origin. I wouldn't add more or go into more detail there, but then again if you have to time to figure it all out and the disamb. is correct, why not.

Answer:

by majaya (DE), 2013-08-30, 11:24   Spam?  

It's only the ranks of army and ir force because Hungary hasn't any navy forces.
Of course there are common translations of naval ranks, so I will only add the NATO-Code on the english side (with the help of Wikipedia).

I don't correct any common rank translations of other rank systems (e.g. police...), so I concentrate only of army and air force ranks.

Nincs bánat, amit rád
Balsors keze mért?...
Hisz szép ez az élet
Fogytig, ha kiméled
Azt ami maradt;
Csak az õsz fordultán,
Leveleid hulltán
Ne kivánj nyarat.
Bár füstbe reményid, -

(meg)lankad

http://www.szotar.net/keres/mind/lankad

----------------

szélesz

to disperse
to scatter

-----------------

vidul (as verb, vidulás -> noun)

to cheer up
to brighten up
to make merry

-----------------------

vidor

cheerful

------------------------

bojurat

This one I didn't find but I'd translate it with

drabness (of life), greyness, cloudiness, cheerlessness etc in a fig. meaning

So the
"Boruját meg széleszd:
Légy te vidorabb."

would mean "Scatter / Disperse the greyness and be more cheerful"

I want to thank everybody for making this possible. We are not just the first EN-pair leaving the beta phase, we have also achieved a very nice status for the HU-pairs in general. We have in summary more than 75k Hungarian entries and we grow every week by ~200-300 words.
If you recently checked the access stats, we also grow in popularity. (enhu.dict.cc: about:stats) More and more people check dict.cc for HU/DE/EN translations and I hope this gives each and everybody motivation and strength to keep this project going.

As for the future I hope we gain more contributors for a more fluent verification process. I also hope we can spread the word about dict.cc and show the people the alternative to the sometimes faulty other dictionaries/vocab scanners without any explanations/disambiguations.
As for my part, I managed to link DE/HU into 3 language groups on Facebook and recruit some casual contributors. I hope everybody is trying the same, so we can look ahead to establish a nice team working on this awesome project.

Keep the good work up.
I wish you all the best and see you around :)

I also wanted to express my deep gratitude for Loranta and Ozntia. They won't comment here, but I want their names to be recognized. Without Ozntia's Votes and helpful comments we would often sit at the 1k cache limit for weeks. Without Loranta I wouldn't even know if I'd still be here. A very intelligent and kind person, awesome to e-mail with, always helping and she has the most outstanding accuracy when it comes to sources. She always finds sources for even the hardest of our entries and her inputs are just as equally backed up with reliable sources.

Afterall VOTES is what we need the most and having a team like you guys, that works with such precision is a blessing. That being said, I don't wanna steal your time anymore. There are many entries waiting for us.
