Historically, Git for Windows punts on translations, excluding any non-en-US documentation (to save on bandwidth for the installer, which did grow from <30MB to 44MB in the last four years alone). There were a couple of motions to change that (maybe in the form of add-on packages/installers, maybe in the form of a "full" installer), but nothing came of it so far. Therefore, as far as Windows is concerned, I hate to admit that my answer is "don't worry for now, we only include US-English documentation anyway"... :-( Ciao, Dscho
