-GBGoffice provides an easy to use GTK interface for the dictionaries 
-from the Bulgarian Office project. It supports all five of them:
+The GTK BG Office assistant (Gbgoffice) is part of the Bulgarian
+Office project (Bgoffice). Gbgoffice provides an easy to use GTK+
+interface for the Bgoffice dictionaries. It supports all five of them:
 
-- English <=> Bulgarian
-- Polytechnical
-- Computer Terms
-- Thesaurus
-- Dialect
+1) Dual Bulgarian English dictionary
+2) Dictionary of computer terms
+3) Dialect dictionary ;)
+4) Polytechnical English Bulgarian dictionary
+5) Thesaurus
 
-If you are using KDE, you might want to try kbgoffice (QT4 interface), 
-instead.
+After gbgoffice is installed, you need full-pack for the dictionaries.
+
+NOTE: If you use KDE, you may want kbgoffice (QT4 interface) instead.
