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.

Gora Mohanty <gora_mohanty@yahoo.co.in> wrote the tutorial.
