-    <p>You'll now get better control over which application have access
-    to the location service data and not. The first time an application tries
-    to access your location, a dialog box will prompt you for permission
-    before giving access.</p>
-
-    <p>While the location service is active, an indicator will be displayed
-    in the top bar.</p>
-
-    <p>All applications that requests access to location data are listed in the
-    Privacy settings. There you can set the access for each individual
-    application. You can turn off the location services for the entire system
-    using the disable option in the system menu.</p>
+    <p>Location services makes it possible for applications to find out your
+    current location. While this can be extremely useful, it can also be a
+    privacy issue if you don't want other parties to know where you are. For
+    this reason, it has always been possible to disable location services, in
+    order to prevent them from being used by applications. With 3.20, access to
+    location services can be decided per application, making these privacy
+    controls much more flexible.</p>
+    <p>Privacy controls for location services are also much more robust in
+    3.20, since applications are now required to ask for access to location
+    data the first time they try to access it. These applications can
+    provide an explanation for why they are trying to access location data.</p>
+    <p>All the applications that have requested access to location data are
+    listed in  a new part of the privacy settings. Here you can allow or deny
+    access for each application. It is also possible to turn off location
+    services for the entire system. As with previous versions of GNOME, an
+    indicator is displayed in the top bar when location service are in use.</p>
