+    <para>The <application>Yelp Help Browser</application> application allows you to view documentation
+    regarding GNOME and other components through a variety of formats. These
+    formats include docbook files, HTML help pages, man pages and info pages
+    (support for man pages and info pages may optionally be compiled in).
+    Despite the different formats supported, Yelp does its best to provide a
+    unified look and feel regardless of the original document format.</para>
+
+    <para><application>Yelp Help Browser</application> is internationalised, meaning that it has support
+    to view documents in different languages. The documents must be localised
+    or translated for each language and installed properly for Yelp Help
+    Browser to be able to view them.</para>
