The Hungarian tags shouldn't affect anything unless you are putting them into the file name or title of the books. Calibre will update the metadata in the book, but the device doesn't read the tags.

As to more database corruptions when using calibre, you are probably correct. The driver is doing a lot of work, so the likelihood of a problem goes up. But, my experience is that it isn't a problem.

If you want to use calibre without risking the database, you can disable the KoboTouch driver and use the "Connect to folder" function. That will give you most of the calibre device related function without any of the database access. This is what I recommend for people using KOReader or CoolReader instead of the Kobo software on the device.
