To translate:
ColorPickers/Hungarian.lproj/StandardPicker.strings

(It was my mistake, here I edited StandardPicker.strings.)

In the Gorm.app/ directory there I can't find any translatable file,
like:

Localizable.strings
StandardPicker.strings

Currently I don't want to translate the all names of the Classes in
the files like data.classes.

Now I'm going to build these sources in to Debian packages.

When I shall ready with these debian packages, I'm asking myself is it
safe to install these debian packages when I have alredy installed
these packages from binary, downloaded from the Debian repository?
