+    (description
+     "Usually, programs are written and documented in English, and use
+English at execution time for interacting with users.  Using a common
+language is quite handy for communication between developers,
+maintainers and users from all countries.  On the other hand, most
+people are less comfortable with English than with their own native
+language, and would rather be using their mother tongue for day to
+day's work, as far as possible.  Many would simply love seeing their
+computer screen showing a lot less of English, and far more of their
+own language.
+
+GNU `gettext' is an important step for the GNU Translation Project, as
+bit is an asset on which we may build many other steps. This package
+offers to programmers, translators, and even users, a well integrated
+set of tools and documentation. Specifically, the GNU `gettext'
+utilities are a set of tools that provides a framework to help other
+GNU packages produce multi-lingual messages.")
