But only 3 out of 37 coreutils translations got this right (Spanish,
Swedish, Finnish). So it means that relying on the translators to do this
job doesn't really work.
Also in the C locale, without any translator involved, we have:
$ LC_ALL=C ptx --version | grep Pinard
Written by F. Pinard.
It could say:
Written by Francois Pinard.
or
Written by Franc,ois Pinard.
Which of the two ASCII transliterations he prefers, François will
certainly tell you himself.
