This is less documented. However, there's a short hint in the Mandriva wiki:

I've used it in my packages:



http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19373040/Fedora/SPECS/cputnik.spec



It works fine, gnome-packagekit shows the translated versions.



I hope we will have a translation routine for package summaries and descriptions in the
future, as known from other distributions, such as Ubuntu or Mandriva. To setup a working
installation on Koji is difficult, I'm sure. But the translations itself could be
reused from the mentioned distributions.



Best Regards,
Mario
