If presented as a source of documentation of the variety of linguistic expression being registered, items describing the variety in question but in another language are acceptable; but one would like such items to really provide information about the variety. Does this do that, or does it mainly talk about why and how it came into being?

Mind, this is presented as *other information* (#6), not as a description (#5). It seems to fit as other relevant information.
