-With this project, 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-changes in the ISO standard and will not work with outdated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.
