+It is recommended that you add the "languages" @samp{en@@quot} and
+@samp{en@@boldquot} to the @code{LINGUAS} file.  @code{en@@quot} is a
+variant of English message catalogs (@code{en}) which uses real quotation
+marks instead of the ugly looking asymmetric ASCII substitutes @samp{`}
+and @samp{'}.  @code{en@@boldquot} is a variant of @code{en@@quot} that
+additionally outputs quoted pieces of text in a bold font, when used in
+a terminal emulator which supports the VT100 escape sequences (such as
+@code{xterm} or the Linux console, but not Emacs in @kbd{M-x shell} mode).
+
+These extra message catalogs @samp{en@@quot} and @samp{en@@boldquot}
+are constructed automatically, not by translators; to support them, you
+need the files @file{Rules-quot}, @file{quot.sed}, @file{boldquot.sed},
+@file{en@@quot.header}, @file{en@@boldquot.header}, @file{insert-header.sin}
+in the @file{po/} directory.  You can copy them from GNU gettext's @file{po/}
+directory; they are also installed by running @code{gettextize}.
