OK. I did notice some issues with the files you sent. Several but not
all of the .txt files were recoded as utf-8. This is wrong. Mailman's
characterset for Hungarian is iso-8859-2. That means all the templates
and the mailman.po message catalog must be iso-8859-2 encoded.
As far as the .html templates are concerned, it is best if the non-ascii
characters are represented as HTML entities and this avoids the issue of
'?' replacements because the web server overrides the encoding defined
on the page, but the .txt templates are generally used in email which
will have a defined encoding of iso-8859-2 so utf-8 encoded templates
will be garbled and HTML entities won't work.
I also noticed an issue with the .html templates. There are two
iso-8859-2 characters in these templates that do not have 'named' HTML
entities. These are
Hex F5, o double acute (ő)
Hex FB, u double acute (ű)
You represented these as õ (õ) and û (û) whereas I think
they should be represented as the numeric entities ő and ű
(see <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_acute_accent#Unicode>).
