Translations are handled by the Translation Project; all I do is to
commit the updates we receive.  :-)

Vincent, if you’d like to help with the translation of package
descriptions and synopses, please see:

  http://translationproject.org/html/translators.html

We need more people on this, so your help would be most welcome!

Thanks,
Ludo’.
