Which is the standard way to translate description in deb packages?

Can anyone show me a related doc or how-to?

As far as I am aware this is not done by the package itself but translations are added for package descriptions as part of the ddtp project in debian which ubuntu syncs from
https://launchpad.net/ddtp-ubuntu

[EDIT] Package description translations are uploaded so that apt can use ddtp to automatically fetch a translated package description (if one exists) for the prefered language
