If you have delimiter for state and desc
Code:
sed -n -e "/# state/,/state_delimiter_pattern/ p" -e "/# desc/,/desc_delimiter_pattern/ p" file

towctrans

TOWCTRANS(3)						     Linux Programmer's Manual						      TOWCTRANS(3)

NAME

       towctrans - wide-character transliteration

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wctype.h>

       wint_t towctrans(wint_t wc, wctrans_t desc);

DESCRIPTION

       If wc is a wide character, the towctrans() function translates it according to the transliteration descriptor desc.  If wc is WEOF, WEOF is
       returned.

       desc must be a transliteration descriptor returned by the wctrans(3) function.

RETURN VALUE

       The towctrans() function returns the translated wide character, or WEOF if wc is WEOF.

CONFORMING TO

       C99.

NOTES

       The behavior of towctrans() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale.

SEE ALSO

       towlower(3), towupper(3), wctrans(3)
