(synopsis "Tools and documentation for translation")
(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.")
