Usually it's not a good idea to edit the files directly, as they're
overwritten with the next extension-update. So you'd better set your
changes within the extensions TypoScript:
._LOCAL_LANG.hu.markerToTranslate = translatedString

or you make your translation on the translation server so that everybody
can benefit from your input:

http://translation.typo3.org/

If you still want to edit the xlf-files have a look at the install
tool-setting "[SYS][textfile_ext]":
