I am Hungarian.
The usage of double negative is completely natural in Hungarian (we don't even mention it as "double negative" or as anything else), and two negatives in the same sentence are not turning into a positive one in the most cases.
Using double (or multiple) negatives are even grammatically required with negative pronouns.
"Double or multiple negatives are grammatically required in Hungarian with negative pronouns: Nincs semmim (word for word: "[doesn't-exists] [nothing-of-mine]", and translates literally as "I do not have nothing") means "I do not have anything". Negative pronouns are constructed by means of adding the prefixes se-, sem-, and sen- to interrogative pronouns. " - Double negative - Wikipedia.

some dialects in English do use the double-negative; it's frowned upon in "standand" English (Mid-Atlantic)...but I consider myself to speak Texan anyway ;>
The Southern accent (and it's derivatives) in English derived from a specific English accent (don't remember the name) from North-Central England in which the double negative was standard
