The Custom Memo fields could be used to hold alternate language descriptions. In addition, Custom Memo fields can hold 32,000 characters of text.  The Custom Memo fields allow for extended descriptions of items including marketing summaries or more technical information that you would like to include.

To rename the custom memo fields, hold down the CTRL key and double-click on a Custom label to rename the label to reflect the information that you will be storing in that Custom field. Only users with Master Rights have this ability.
