“GNUnited Nations (or GNUN for short) is a build system for
www.gnu.org translations, supposed to make translators’ lives
easier. The name is a pun of United Nations (and its commonly used
acronym UN). GNUN consists of a few makefiles and helper scripts,
which convert the gnu.org HTML articles in PO format and
vice-versa; it ensures that any changes to the original essays are
made prominent to translators (as “fuzzy” or “untranslated” gettext
messages). In addition, it includes some facilities to assist
translation teams when organizing their work within the team, and a
program for HTML validation that can be useful for GNU
webmasters.
