For a long period, it was very comfortable in
cross-border litigations that in most cases translation was
necessary the Hungarian state advanced such costs, or even provided
translation entirely for free. However, this possibility came to an
end with the new civil procedure act. If you plan to start a
cross-border litigation, or need translation in a Hungarian
litigation for any reason, better to prepare for extra costs from
now on.
Translating foreign documents into Hungarian
This is the only rule that hasn't changed. Because the
official language of the Hungarian courts is Hungarian, all
documents that are handed in to the courts must have Hungarian
translation right at the time when you hand them in.
