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+changes in the ISO standard and will not work with outdated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