Yeah I know, but let's go back to what these things even are, before deciding whether localization is helpful:

I don't understand "compatible with" it sorta sounds like fat free ice cream, or a little bit pregnant. Is it Adobe RGB (1998) or is it not? And if it's not why is it being installed?

X11 Colors and Crayon colors? Are these named color profiles? If so, OK. If it's a device class profile, neither make sense to me.

D65, D55, D50, I'd think are color space profiles, but then what's the color space? L*a*b*? Or other? If they're device class profiles, I might become pregnant with a cow to give birth to in the next round. (Yes I've turned an already weird American idiom, and made it graphically bizarre.)

BTW as of yesterday it appears I will be in Madrid next month for LGM!
