-      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.
