+## Overview
-This package also uses [translator](https://github.com/josephwright/translator/), a package for translating
-words in LaTeX. We welcome new translations.
+The `beamer` class is focussed on producing (on-screen) presentations, along
+with support material such as handouts and speaker notes. Content is created
+in a `frame` environment, each of which can be divided up into a number of
+slides (actual output pages). A simple 'action' notation is used to specify
+which material appears on each slide within a frame. The class supports a
+range of environments to enable complex slide relationships to be constructed.
+
+The appearance of slides is controlled by a template system. Many of the
+elements of slides can be adjusted by setting simple key-based values in
+the preamble. More complex changes can be implemented by altering specific,
+targeted definitions without needing to re-write entire blocks of code. This
+allows a variety of visual appearances to be selected for the same content
+source.
