+
+The [Gherkin](https://cucumber.io/docs/gherkin/) language is used to define test cases for the [Cucumber](https://cucumber.io/) testing tool for behavior-driven development. The Gherkin syntax is designed to be 
+non-technical, making it human-readable for a wide audience.
+
+## Support in PMD
+Starting from version 6.48.0, Gherkin support was added to CPD.
+
+### Limitations
+- Support for Gherkin only extends to CPD to detect code duplication in Cucumber test cases. 
+- While Gherkin keywords have been translated into various
+languages, CPD currently supports only the English version of the Gherkin language.
