+This module converts from <link linkend="equatorial">Equatorial
+coordinates</link> to <link linkend="galactic">Galactic
+coordinates</link>, and vice versa. First, select which coordinates
+should be taken as input values in the <guilabel>Input
+Selection</guilabel> section. Then, fill in the corresponding
+coordinate values in either the <guilabel>Galactic
+coordinates</guilabel> or <guilabel>Equatorial coordinates</guilabel>
+section. Finally, press the <guibutton>Compute</guibutton> button,
+and the complementary coordinates will be filled in.
