The GNU gettext package is the first full featured package
directed to NLS support in the GNU packages.  It has its roots in the
GNU C Library development and of course the (never officially
released) GNU locale package, mostly written by Jim Meyering.
Therefore a lot of people participated in the process of creating this
software.

Special thanks to François Pinard <[email protected]>, who did a
major part of the testing, provided the Emacs PO mode, and wrote major
parts of the manual.

Peter Miller <[email protected]> invested a lot of his time in making
gettext usable in other GNU projects and wrote the msgmerge, msgcmp, and
msgunfmt programs.

Guido Flohr <[email protected]> wrote the Perl backend of xgettext and
the libintl-perl package.

Gora Mohanty <[email protected]> wrote the tutorial.
