You gave the reason: slice is the last pass, so there is no way to know
that output files are put elsewhere when checking for image size.

If you want to keep your directory tree, you may give links relative to
source files, and remove en/ and hu/ from links with an epilog filter
(wml -E flag).

Hmmm, sounds quite hard, maybe you should write your own navbar macros.

But it is really what you want, because your first try is similar to
  <navbar:render name=language select="<en>en</en><hu>hu</hu>" nohints>
and there is no such id in your navbar.

But you may define something like
    <define-tag navbar:render:lang>
    <preserve name array-langs l />
    <set-var %attributes />
    <set-var array-langs=<lang:list /> />
    <foreach l array-langs>
      <subst-in-string "<dUmMy:lang:<get-var l />>
          <navbar:render name=<get-var name /> select=<get-var l /> nohints />
          </dUmMy:lang:<get-var l />>" "dUmMy:" "" />
    </foreach>
    <restore name array-langs l />
    </define-tag>
and call it with
    <navbar:render:lang name=language nohints>

It's tricky, I may explain it in detail if you are interested.
