Peter Christensen<p>So, machine translator, I have this alphabetical list of contributors in French. Some of them have official English names, some don’t. I need you to go through them, determine which have English names, replace FR with EN where appropriate, and put the new list in alphabetical order. Oh, and if there are any errors in the French names, I want you to correct them. You can do that, right? </p><p>🦗🦗🦗</p><p>Machine translator?
