Thanks, applied with a comment, as below.

The check-AUTHORS rule in coreutils/src/Makefile.am also has a second
problem: it expects the English translation
| sed -n -e '/Written by /{ s//'"$$i"': /;' \
-e 's/,* and /, /; s/\.$$//; p; }'; \
whereas for French you will need soemthing like
| sed -n -e '/Écrit par /{ s//'"$$i"': /;' \

* lib/propername.c (proper_name_utf8): Ignore no-op translations;
use the converted UTF-8 variant of the name instead.
