+shortdesc German hyphenation patterns.
+longdesc Hyphenation patterns for German in T1/EC and UTF-8 encodings,
+longdesc for traditional and reformed spelling, including Swiss German.
+longdesc The package includes the latest patterns from dehyph-exptl
+longdesc (known to TeX under names 'german', 'ngerman' and 'swissgerman'),
+longdesc however 8-bit engines still load old versions of patterns
+longdesc for 'german' and 'ngerman' for backward-compatibility reasons.
+longdesc Swiss German patterns are suitable for Swiss Standard German
+longdesc (Hochdeutsch) not the Alemannic dialects spoken in Switzerland
+longdesc (Schwyzerduetsch).
+longdesc There are no known patterns for written Schwyzerduetsch.
