Re: How to run git-gui always in English?

Steffen Prohaska:
There are a lot of efforts going on to localize git-gui, including 
technical terms like "push". Personally I don't understand what this 
should be useful for. The command is called "git push"s. So, why should it 
be named differently in the gui.
Not that I agree that "push" is a technical word, but perhaps you have a 
point. Why should there be such words in the GUI to start with? It's a GUI, 
trying to abstract away the command line. Why not have a button "Send" or a 
menu entry "Send changes to server", mimicing the "git push" command line 
option? Using command line names or showing protocol data directly in a 
user-oriented GUI is most often a bad idea.

Or perhaps what we need is an actual translation from "gitish" to English, 
which would have

msgid "Push"
msgstr "Send changes to server"

?
