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. Written in April-June 1995 by Ulrich Drepper drepper@ipd.info.uni-karlsruhe.de Special thanks to François Pinard , 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 invested a lot of his time in making gettext usable in other but GNU projects and wrote the msgmerge, msgcmp, and msgunfmt programs.
