"Ayarla" is very confusing... Setup can't be translated to Turkish as "ayarla". The correct word would be "Yükle/Kur" (verb) and the correct noun would be "Kurulum". Ayarla means "configure" and "ayarlar" means "settings".

Also, why just Turkish and Hungarian?

Same goes for the Italian "imposta". It's a direct translation of "set up", but not a verb anyone would use to mean "setting up a program", and I've never seen an installer named "Imposta.exe". Maybe they had an example of such a poorly translated program, though, which warranted adding a special case to the list. The correct verb would be "installa", which was already covered by "inst".

DiscMaster[0] is useful for this!

It seems to agree with you. There's nothing I could find named imposta.exe or aryala.exe, but I did find installa.exe.
