Thank you to pointing me for newer build.

You must know about that that I try to install GNUstep nowadays from

ProjectCenter-0.5.0.tar.gz
SQLClient-1.3.0.tar.gz
audiofile-0.2.6.tar.gz

Debian GNU/Linux Lenny binary packages
and Debian GNU/Linux Lenny sources.

So I want to stay at Debian stable sources. That is the readiest way
for me here on Debian system, because of FSF filesystem standards (or
what). Here at installation things go in to more directories and not
only in to the /usr/GNUstep/ directory.

So I get the debian sources for gnustep, edited them (translated
.strings files), build them and installed them on my Debian stable
system. I can see the results of my work: some elements appears in
Hungarian.

But, when I updated with aptitude then I upgrade gnustep packages
accidentally. I was thinking that there I upgraded to the not
translated debian official gnustep packages, but not. My Gorm still
remain in that version that I translated (only .strings files).

So now, how can I update my Gorm installation when I have the newest
Gorm installation? When I run in aptitude the update command there is
nothing to upgrade.

So I return again to my question - if I may - how can I translate the
.gorm files running Gorm.app?
