  47     (description
  48      "This package provides lists of various ISO standards (e.g. country,
  49 language, language scripts, and currency names) in one place, rather
  50 than repeated in many programs throughout the system.
  51
  52 Currently there are lists of languages and countries embedded in
  53 several different programs, which leads to dozens of lists of
  54 200 languages, translated into more than 30 languages... not
  55 very efficient.
  56
  57 With this package, we create a single \"gettext domain\" for every
  58 supported ISO standard which contains the translations of
  59 that domain.  It is easy for a programmer to re-use those
  60 translations instead of maintaining their own translation
  61 infrastructure.  Moreover, the programmer does not need to follow
  62 changes in the ISO standard and will not work with outdated
  63 information.")
