Hello,

I'm currently trying to translate the git man pages into german, as some
of my co-developers want to stick with svn. Of course, I could use
git-svn, but it's not what i want. Our svn server crashed two times and
we lost the history two times.

Our native language is german and they don't like to read english
documentation. I already started translating but have some problems:
Should i translate "branch" with the appropriate german word or keep it
english? This is a Problem for "pull" "push" and the other actions as
well. Basically it's possible to copy words, but that isn't very
esthetical.

There was a long discussion some months ago on this list concering the
localization of git-gui into german.

The link is:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/80936/focus=81031

The selected mail also has two further pointers with some discussion.

Maybe you'll find some inspiration here:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/git.git;a=blob;f=git-gui/po/de.po;hb=HEAD

It would probably be very worthwile to follow the translations there
because users of git-gui will feel at home at once instead of having to
re-learn things.

The glossary may also be a good help:

Regards.
