GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
authors' reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow.
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
received the program in object code or executable form with such
an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
parties remain in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
the Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) 19yy <name of author>
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
(at your option) any later version.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
GNU General Public License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
when it starts in an interactive mode:
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
`Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
<signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
Ty Coon, President of Vice
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
Public License instead of this License.

Version 0.10.40 - September 2001
* The libintl library is now covered by the GNU LGPL. The tools are still
covered by the GNU GPL.
Version 0.10.39 - July 2001
* This is a bug-fix release.
* Now uses libtool-1.4. Linking with the libintl shared library is easier.
* The autoconf macros now work with both autoconf-2.13 and autoconf-2.50.
Version 0.10.38 - May 2001
* This is a bug-fix release.
* Manual pages for the GNU libintl library functions have been added.
Version 0.10.37 - April 2001
This is a bug-fix release.
Version 0.10.36 - March 2001, by Ulrich Drepper and Bruno Haible
* General plural handling. New functions ngettext, dngettext, dcngettext.
* Locales which differ only in the character encoding, for example ja_JP and
ja_JP.UTF-8, can now share the same message catalogs. gettext converts
the messages to the appropriate character encoding on the fly.
* The tools now correctly process PO files in CJK encodings.
* Support for non-GNU gettext has been dropped. Previously, on Solaris, the
system's gettext was used (unless --with-included-gettext was specified),
which led to problems with PO files that were not 100% translated.
* Support for the catgets wrapper has been dropped. This means that gettext
now always supports the LANGUAGE environment variable, message inheritance,
automatic charset conversion etc.
* Support for the old Linux specific .msg catalog format has been dropped.
* When the included GNU libintl is installed (i.e. on GNU platforms, when
the configure option --with-included-gettext is given, or on non-GNU
platforms, when the configure option --disable-nls is not given), it is
also installed as a shared library, unless the configure option
--disable-shared is given.
* PO mode changes:
** PO mode does not use recursive edit anymore, many edits may be worked on
simultaneously in a single PO file.
** PO mode may handle many translation files at once while correlating related
entries, for helping multilingual or cultured translators.
** On recent Emacses, PO mode automatically use proper fonts when available.
** PO mode supports marking of C++ sources.
** highlights original message while editing the translation
** PO mode has commands to mail messages to teams or to the translation
coordinator, with automatic inclusion of the current PO file.
Version 0.10.35 - April 1998, by Ulrich Drepper
* by default the emulation of gettext using the catgets() functions of
the C library is not selected anymore. GNU gettext has so many nice
extensions that this became unreasonable. Using --with-catgets the
emulation still can be requested.
* extend xgettext program to handle other file formats other than C/C++.
For now it also handles PO file. Using this feature one can concatenate
arbitrary PO files.
* Tcl module with gettext interface
* Korean translation by Bang Jun Young
* xgettext writes to stdout when default domain name is set to -
* codeset name normalization
* msgmerge program now has all features tupdate has (and more).
tupdate itself will be removed soon
* po/Makefile.in.in now uses msgmerge instead of tupdate
* escape notation in .po files are only used when explicitly selected
* changed interface of msgunfmt to conform to GNU coding standard
* msgmerge now knows how to handle obsolete entries. If a formerly obsolete
entry is used again msgmerge will find it
* better implementation of comment extraction in xgettext.
* better C format string implementation. The xgettext will classify
strings as being a format string, or not, in the .po file. The
programmer can override the decision explicitly for each string
by specifying `xgettext:c-format' and `xgettext:no-c-format'
respectively in a C comment preceding the string.
* msgmerge program now always produces output. Fuzzy or non-existing
translations are no reason for holding back the result.
* reasonable header entry format implemented
* Norwegian translation by Karl Anders Øygard
* Configure command line option `--with-gnu-gettext' is renamed to
`--with-included-gettext'
* gettextize now can determine whether the aclocal.m4 of the project
is sufficent
* use automake for Makefile.in generation
* by default now only c-format is emitted in xgettext. If using the new
--debug option one can enable printing possible-c-format to see who
decided about the string: xgettext or the programmer
* the installed libintl.h file no longer depends on HAVE_LOCALE_H being
defined. After running configure we know whether this file exists.
* wrapping of lines in PO file output finally enabled.
A new special comment no-wrap prevents wrapping.
* add --statistics option to msgfmt to get information about number of
translated, untranslated, and fuzzy messages
* change behaviour of --verbose option to msgfmt. This no longer
causes the check on the messages to be performed. The check for leading
and trailing \n is always performed and the check of the format specifiers
is performed when --check is given.
* shared library support based On Gord Matzigkeit's libtool package
* msgcomm program by Peter Miller to extract messages shared by input
files
* many more translations.
Version 0.10 - December 1995, by Ulrich Drepper
* implement --shell-script option for gettext program
* implement object-oriented, lazy message handling :-)
Consult the manual for more/any information
* implement locale name aliasing, similar to the one used
in the X Window System
* support for GNU gettext sources in central place to support
use in development environments of other projects
* implement CEN syntax for environment variable values
* msgcmp program to find matches in two .po files
* programs now have exit status != 0 if errors occured
* libintl.a is now selfcontained and can be used without context in
other projects (even on systems missing alloca)
* gettextize now automatically runs config.status
* swedish message catalog
* new options for xgettext: -D/--directory to change in specified directory
before processing the input files and -f/--files-from to specify file from
which the names of the input files are read.
The later option in necessary for large projects such as GNU C Library.
* new programs msgmerge and msgunfmt by Peter Miller. The code of the other
programs is now also much cleaner.
Version 0.9 - August 1995, by Ulrich Drepper
* again many improvements on the manual
* norwegian message catalog
* compilation now works with --disable-nls
* better checks
Version 0.8 - July 1995, by Ulrich Drepper
* much improved manual (although still far from being complete)
* improved PO mode; it now can prepare C sources for use with gettext
by marking translatable strings
* better support for sparse System V systems
* check goal (kind of)
* more input tests and warnings
* better support for integration in other packages
* many bugs fixed
Version 0.7 - June 1995, by Ulrich Drepper
* New GNU package providing functionality to internationalize and
localize other programs.
* Implementation of the Uniforum(*) proposal for internationalization
on top of X/Open(*) style catgets functions.
* Complete implementation of the Uniforum functions for system
lacking either of them or those who which to have a different
implementation with many advantages.
* Implementation of the three tools for message catalog handling
described in the Uniforum.
* Emacs po-mode for handling portable message object files which are
the basis of the work of the package.
(*) Some history: The POSIX working groups have so far been unable to
agree on one set of message catalog handling functions for the C Library.
For now there are competing proposals, one by the Uniforum group, led by
Sun, and the other by X/Open. Although the latter is surely implemented
on more systems, it is not perceived as the clear leader.

This is the GNU gettext package. It is interesting for authors or
maintainers of other packages or programs which they want to see
internationalized. As one step the handling of messages in different
languages should be implemented. For this task GNU gettext provides
the needed tools and library functions.
Users of GNU packages should also install GNU gettext because some
other GNU packages will use the gettext program included in this
package to internationalize the messages given by shell scripts.
Another good reason to install GNU gettext is to make sure the
here included functions compile ok. This helps to prevent errors
when installing other packages which use this library. The message
handling functions are not yet part of POSIX and ISO/IEC standards
and therefore it is not possible to rely on facts about their
implementation in the local C library. For this reason, GNU gettext
tries using the system's functionality only if it is a GNU gettext
implementation (possibly a different version); otherwise, compatibility
problems would occur.
We felt that the Uniforum proposals has the much more flexible interface
and, what is more important, does not burden the programmers as much as
the other possibility does.
Please share your results with us. If this package compiles ok for
you future GNU release will likely also not fail, at least for reasons
found in message handling. Send comments and bug reports to
bug-gnu-utils@gnu.org
The goal of this library was to give a unique interface to message
handling functions. At least the same level of importance was to give
the programmer/maintainer the needed tools to maintain the message
catalogs. The interface is designed after the proposals of the
Uniforum group.
The configure script provides two non-standard options. These will
also be available in other packages if they use the functionality of
GNU gettext. Use
--disable-nls
if you absolutely don't want to have messages handling code. You will
always get the original messages (mostly English). You could consider
using NLS support even when you do not need other tongues. If you do
not install any messages catalogs or do not specify to use another but
the C locale you will not get translations.
The set of languages for which catalogs should be installed can also be
specified while configuring. Of course they must be available but the
intersection of these two sets are computed automatically. You could
once and for all define in your profile/cshrc the variable LINGUAS:
(Bourne Shell) LINGUAS="de fr nl"; export LINGUAS
(C Shell) setenv LINGUAS "de fr nl"
or specify it directly while configuring
env LINGUAS="de fr nl" ./configure
Consult the manual for more information on language names.
The second configure option is
--with-included-gettext
This forces to use the GNU implementation of the message handling library
regardless what the local C library provides. This possibility is
useful if the local C library is a glibc 2.1.x or older, which didn't
have all the features the included libintl has.
Other files you might look into:
`ABOUT-NLS' - current state of the GNU internationalization effort
`COPYING' - copying conditions
`INSTALL' - general compilation and installation rules
`NEWS' - major changes in the current version
`THANKS' - list of contributors
Some points you might be interested in before installing the package:
1. If you change any of the files in package the Makefile rules will
schedule a recompution of the gettext.pot file. But this is not
possible without this package already installed.
If you don't have this package already installed and modified
any of the files build the package first with
--disable-nls
When this is done you will get a runnable xgettext program which
can be used to recompute gettext.pot.
2. If your system's C library already provides the gettext interface
and its associated tools don't come from this package, it might be
a good idea to configure the package with
--program-prefix=g
Systems affected by this are:
Solaris 2.x
3. Some system have a very dumb^H^H^H^Hstrange version of msgfmt, the
one which comes with xview. This one is *not* usable. It's best
you delete^H^H^H^H^H^Hrename it or install this package as in the
point above with
--program-prefix=g
4. On some system it is better to have strings aligned (I've been told
Sparcs like strings aligned to 8 byte boundaries). If you want to
have the output of msgfmt aligned you can use the -a option. But you
also could change the default value to be different from 1. Take
a look at the --alignment option of msgfmt.
5. The locale name alias scheme implemented here is in a similar form
implemented in the X Window System. Especially the alias data base
file can be shared. Normally this file is found at something like
/usr/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias
If you have the X Window System installed try to find this file and
specify the path at the make run:
make aliaspath='/usr/lib/X11/locale:/usr/local/lib/locale'
(or whatever is appropriate for you). The file name is always
locale.alias.
In the misc/ subdirectory you find an example for an alias database file.
6. The msgmerge program performs fuzzy search in the message sets. It
might run a long time on slow systems. I saw this problem when running
it on my old i386DX25. The time can really be several minutes,
especially if you have long messages and/or a great number of
them.
If you have a faster implementation of the fstrcmp() function and
want to share it with the rest of use, please contact me.
7. On some systems it will not be possible to compile this package.
It is not only this package but any other GNU package, too. These
systems do not provide the simplest functionality to run configure.
Today are known the following systems:

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 François 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 <millerp@canb.auug.org.au> invested a lot of his time in making
gettext usable in other but GNU projects and wrote the msgmerge, msgcmp,
and msgunfmt programs.
