I did it already.

I did have localepurge installed so I purge it with command: 
 $ sudo aptitude purge localepurge

I don't know why had installed it at all.

I run then the commands:

 $ sudo apt-get update
 $ sudo apt-get --reinstall install $(dpkg -S LC_MESSAGES | cut\
 -d: -f1 | tr ', ' '\n' | sort -u)

I get after that - without reboooting my system - Hungarian menus in
Midnight Commander under xterm or virtual terminal.

I also tried to run GUI's, like Bluefish, Ekiga and I get Hungarian
menus too. :)
