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. Written in April-June 1995 by Ulrich Drepper drepper@ipd.info.uni-karlsruhe.de Special thanks to François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>, who did a major part of the testing, provided the Emacs PO mode, and wrote major parts of the manual. Peter Miller <millerp@canb.auug.org.au> invested a lot of his time in making gettext usable in other GNU projects and wrote the msgmerge, msgcmp, and msgunfmt programs. Guido Flohr <guido@imperia.net> wrote the Perl backend of xgettext and the libintl-perl package.
