localeurl was developed by `Joost Cassee`_ based on the work by Atli
Þorbjörnsson. Contributions by Jonas Christian. Includes code from the
`django-localize`_ project by `Artiom Diomin`_. Currently maintained
by `Carl Meyer`_.

It was partly taken from and partly inspired by discussions on the
django-users_ and django-multilingual_ mailinglists:

 * Atli Þorbjörnsson: `Locale from URL Middleware`_
 * Panos Laganakos: `creating a multilingual middleware`_
 * Piotr Majewski: `multilingual middleware NEW FEATURE!`_

See also `this blog post on internationalisation`_ by Yann Malet that
references Atli's code.

 * `Announcement on django-multilingual`_
