-<para>The missing <filename>msgfmt</filename> program (from the Gettext
-package, which we'll install later) won't cause any problems. The
-<filename>msgfmt</filename> is used to generate the binary translation
-files that can make your system talk in a different language. Because these
-translation files have already been generated for you, there is no need for
-<filename>msgfmt</filename>. You'd only need the program if you change the
-translation source files (the <filename>*.po</filename> files in the
-<filename class="directory">po</filename> subdirectory), which
-would require you to regenerate the binary files.</para>
