-- Support of repository ``i18n_extra`` for additional (and manual) translation files
+- Modules may now include an ``i18n_extra`` directory that will be treated like the
+  default ``i18n`` directory. This is typically useful for manual translation files
+  that are not managed by Launchpad's translation system. An example is l10n modules
+  that depend on ``l10n_multilang``.
