+SUMMARY="GNU tools for native language support"
+DESCRIPTION="GNU 'gettext' is an important step for the GNU Translation \
+Project, as it 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. These tools include a set of conventions about how \
+programs should be written to support message catalogs, a directory and file \
+naming organization for the message catalogs themselves, a runtime library \
+supporting the retrieval of translated messages, and a few stand-alone \
+programs to massage in various ways the sets of translatable strings, or \
+already translated strings. A special GNU Emacs mode also helps interested \
+parties in preparing these sets, or bringing them up to date."
