The Extension Manager can display a small text for each extension in the dialog. The full text will become visible when the extension is being selected. Originally, this text was displayed in a 'tool tip' in versions of OOo previous v3.0.
Versions of OOo earlier than 3.1 use the "Tooltip Description" of an extension which is kept in the manifest.xml. Using the "Tooltip Description" is deprecated as of OOo 3.1. Since then the description is specified in the description.xml. It is similar to the simple license feature. One can put a couple of localized description files into the extension and reference them in the description.xml. The description using a locale which matches that of the office will be displayed. See Documentation/DevGuide/Extensions/Localized XML Elements for how the localization works. The description files must contain UTF-8 encoded text.
