+This is the directory with Inkscape's stock patterns. They are
+stored in the defs of the SVG document patterns.svg. Within
+Inkscape, they can be accessed via the pattern fill option on either
+Fill or Stroke tab of the Fill & Stroke dialog (Ctrl+Shift+F). You
+can also create a new pattern from selected objects by the Objects
+to Pattern command.
+
+Internationalization
+
+This file is internationalized the same way as share/filters/filters/svg
+The i18n.py script called from the makefile will extract strings from
+patterns.svg into a patterns.svg.h file. Intltool is then able to extracts
+these strings just like from normal .h files.
