Explanation:
The text itself doesn't make any sense. If in Englisf the original text is: "How long is a row (line)?" the translation would be "Milyen hosszú egy sor?" The original text would help a lot in getting an accurate translation.

Explanation:
This string doesn\'t mean anything in Hungarian.

Meaning of each word:

hogyan - how
sok - many, much
van - is
egy - a, an, one
sor - line, queue
sör - beer

Therefore, it seems that this string is a word-by-word \"translation\" of \'How much is a beer?\'

Explanation:
The original text, unfortunately, is not grammatically correct, though, my translation is a possible solution. However, the translation referring to the price of beer is an inventive one, in case, the original word beer has been miswritten as sor (line).
