The GNU NLS utility package is the first full featured package
directed to NLS support in the GNU packages.  It has it's 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 Franois Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>, who did a
major part of the testing and provided the Emacs PO mode, wrote major
parts of the manual, and contributed the Perl interface gettext.perl.

Peter Miller <pmiller@bmr.gov.au> invested a lot of his time in making
gettext usable in other but GNU projects and wrote the msgmerge program.
