"A Kékestetőre utazunk, és ti?"
Translation:We are travelling to Kékestető, and you?

It's a mountain peak (in this case, tető translates as "peak") - in fact, the highest peak in Hungary. In Hungarian, it can be called a Kékes or a Kékestető. The usual translation into English is "the Kékes." "Travelling to Kékes" without the definite article sounds pretty weird to me.
The definite article is not required in English - at all... to Kékes is fine....
However, we need to say "up" to indicate we are going onto the mountain in English
Your sentence is better. Actually, last Saturday I travelled up by bus from Mátrafüred, on the road 24, and what was written on the bus, officially? Mátraháza-Kékestető.
That sounds fine to me, and it should be accepted. Literally, utazunk means "we are traveling," but I don't hear people say that very often when they're talking about a trip they're on, or are about to go on. One might say, "I was traveling last year." They were traveling, as opposed to staying home. But if you're talking about a specific trip, "We're going to such-and-such place" is more typical - in American English, anyway. So that should be one of the correct ways to say it.

Because the Kékestető here is a geographical name, it doesn’t need to be translated. We don’t translate New York into Új York, or a Canadian hill, Signal Hill, into Signal Domb.

"Kékes" or "Kékestető" is the two names for the same mountain. Kékes peak is not good here.

Ebből a gépi hangból egy nem magyar nem fogja megtanulni a helyes hansúlyozást. A "ti" szón (névmáson) itt emelkedő hangsúlynak kellene lennie (kérdés). A gépi hang meg kijelentő módon hangsúlyoz.

Ha így van, akkor még rosszabb. Akkor kell keresni egy olyan személyt, aki hangsúlyozni is tud. (Fenntartom mentségnek, hogy esetleg mégis gépi hang.
