;; in case or circular dependencies.

    (description
     "GNU Gettext is a package providing a framework for translating the
textual output of programs into multiple languages.  It provides translators
with the means to create message catalogs, as well as an Emacs mode to work
with them, and a runtime library to load translated messages from the
catalogs.  Nearly all GNU packages use Gettext.")
