Hungarian BibLaTeX journal citation

Question

How to make BibLaTeX print

"27. évf. 1. sz. pp. 5-23"

instead of

"vol. 27, no. 1, pp. 5-23"

?

MWE:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[magyar]{babel}
\usepackage{lmodern, filecontents}
\usepackage[style=ieee]{biblatex}

\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@article{zarandy_art_temdesign,
    author = {Zarándy, Ákos},
    title = {The art of {CNN} template design},
    journal = {International Journal of Circuit Theory and Applications},
    volume = {27},
    number = {1},
    publisher = {John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.},
    issn = {1097-007X},
    url = {http://digitus.itk.ppke.hu/~lazar/cnn/SegedFileok/ZA_TemplTervArt.pdf},
    urldate = {2014-04-22},
    pages = {5--23},
    year = {1999}
}
\end{filecontents}

\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}

\begin{document}
\cite{zarandy_art_temdesign}
\printbibliography
\end{document}

My magyar.lbx contains, among other things

\DeclareBibliographyStrings{
% ...
page         = {{oldal}{p\adddot}},
pages        = {{oldalak}{pp\adddot}},
volume       = {{évfolyam}{évf\adddot}},
volumes      = {{évfolyam}{évf\adddot}},
number       = {{szám}{sz\adddot}},
}

so the strings are already there but in incorrect order with the numbers.

Package biblatex Warning: Language 'magyar' not supported. — egreg, Dec 20 '14 at 17:47
@egreg I know, that's the unfortunate situation I'm trying to change. https://bitbucket.org/marczellm/latex-magyar-contrib — marczellm, Dec 20 '14 at 17:52

In newer versions of biblatex-ieee you can just redefine the field format as

\DeclareFieldFormat*{volume}{#1\adddot\addnbspace\bibstring{volume}}
\DeclareFieldFormat[article,periodical]{volume}{#1\adddot\addnbspace\bibstring{jourvol}}
\DeclareFieldFormat*{number}{#1\adddot\addnbspace\bibstring{number}}

But even more recent versions (>= 1.3) will also have Hungarian support available out of the box (that might only be really usable once biblatex's Hungarian support is released, see Hungarian with LuaLaTex and biber).

The solution for older versions can be found in the edit history.

How to get rid of the comma after vol. and no.? How can I make this code work in the lbx file? — marczellm, Dec 20 '14 at 20:04
@marczellm Make the \newunit after \bibstring{volume}% into \addspace. Normally this kind of modification is not applied in an .lbx file but in the document itself. You could include the above redefinitions in the \DeclareBibliographyExtras section, but this will tie your .lbx file to biblatex-ieee. — moewe, Dec 20 '14 at 20:25

The biblatex-ieee package was recently updated to support the Hungarian language, so shortly there will be no need for extra code to accomplish this.
