+      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
+      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.
