==================
Languages are not equally supported in all packages. The following
-matrix shows the current state of internationalization, as of May 2001.
-The matrix shows, in regard of each package, for which languages PO
-files have been submitted to translation coordination, with a
+matrix shows the current state of internationalization, as of September
+2001. The matrix shows, in regard of each package, for which languages
+PO files have been submitted to translation coordination, with a
translation percentage of at least 50%.

Some counters in the preceding matrix are higher than the number of
visible blocks let us expect. This is because a few extra PO files are
lag between the mere existence a PO file and its wide availability in a
distribution.

Using `gettext' in new packages
If you are writing a freely available program and want to
internationalize it you are welcome to use GNU `gettext' in your
-package. Of course the GNU Public License applies to your sources from
-then if you include `gettext' directly in your distribution on but
-since you are writing free software anyway this is no restriction.
-
- Once the sources are change appropriately and the setup can handle to
-use of `gettext' the only thing missing are the translations. The Free
-Translation Project is also available for packages which are not
+package. Of course you have to respect the GNU Library General Public
+License which covers the use of the GNU `gettext' library. This means
+in particular that even non-free programs can use `libintl' as a shared
+library, whereas only free software can use `libintl' as a static
+library or use modified versions of `libintl'.
+
+ Once the sources are changed appropriately and the setup can handle
+to use of `gettext' the only thing missing are the translations. The
+Free Translation Project is also available for packages which are not
developed inside the GNU project. Therefore the information given above
applies also for every other Free Software Project. Contact
`translation@iro.umontreal.ca' to make the `.pot' files available to
