We can't learn to translate between Hungarian and English if your 'correct' translations don't consistently use the same structures. You can't vary the structure from sentence to sentence and expect us to be anything other than confused. But I've been saying this for ages and the only response I get from duolingo is that I'm complaining because I'm incapable of learning. I'd say that it's not me who's incapable

Not only for this sentence. 'Also' as a translation for 'is' is never accepted. This should be fixed.
These sentences make no sense in English, my Hungarian husband has had a look at says it makes no sense in either language
It is incorrect on the lesson to say "we're". A contraction cannot come at the end of this sentence in English.
Now the suggested correct answer is
The Belgian doctors walk down from that mountain from which we're too.
Too should absolutely not stand at the end of the sentence since it implies that it is related to we, and in the Hungarian sentence is is related to orvosok.
Anyway, too shouldn't be used at all and should be replaced by also :
The Belgian doctors are also walking down from the mountain from which we are.

That would mean that everybidy is walking diwn. But if you say "the belgian doctors,too" it just means they are doing like everybody else. Is it wrong? And why?

This time the correction placed too at the end of the sentence. Last time it was after the first verb...
In your translation I do not see the need to repeat the word "from" as we have already said "too"
How about this translation: We too, walk down from the mountain which the Belgian doctors do. It would save a huge struggle!
That would translate to something else in Hungarian. We too, walk down..... Mi is lesétálunk...
The new translation ("The Belgian doctors are walking down from the mountain, too, from which we are.") is absolutely impossible to guess, as it is grammatically extremely wonky. Somebody already suggested a good translation with "also", I would suggest this translation as well or simply to change the Hungarian sentence to something that translates more easily and naturally into English.
