I'm native German, but German git messages confuse me (yopu'll have to correlate them with the man pages). At the moment git uses the What in particular makes the German git messages confusing you? What `git version` do you use? Maybe we can find something to improve in the translation. The problem is (as others found out already) that all documentation I have use english Git messages, and lots of documentation is in English. You could compare it to C++ (for example): If you read the language reference in English, you can only be confused by German compiler messages, and if you have a German book on C++, the phrases the book uses are quite likely not the ones the compiler uses... Back to Git: Assuming (pure Science Fiction) that you participate in several projects using Git: One from a French maintainer expects that Git messages are in French, one Project uses English, another Project uses German... The a per-project locale setting would make sense (despite of the fact that I believe that every international project should use English for communication (just because it's a kind of industry standard, not giving any personal preference).

At the moment git uses the locale settings from the environment, so you can only change git's locale settings by changing the environment (like LANG= git ...). OTOH Git has a flexible hierachical option setting mechanism. Why not allow a Git language (locale) setting system-wde, user-wide, or repository-specific. Regards, Ulrich How about alias git='LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8 git' in your ~/.profile ? (Of course you need to change de to the language you want ) That way no program ever needs configuration files ;-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe git in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
