I'm willing to translate publication located at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gittutorial.html to the
Belorussian language (my mother tongue). What I'm asking for is your
written
permission, so you don't mind after I'll post the translation to my blog.
The translation is intended only for web, no print copies planned.
Visitors of your website, who come from Minsk (Belorussia) will be the
ones,
who will read this blogpost, that's the only way to spread them, no
additional instruments we can use. Every translation we ever do does not
costs a penny for the webpage, which is translated. All we ask is to link
back in whatever way you feel confident about it.

Git, including its documentation, is a freely licensed project under
the GNU General Public License version 2. You do not need written
permission to translate gittutorial, and it would be great if you did
so.

Hi,

Was a pleasure to translate this publication! It's kinda fresh and related
to my professional interests, so I thought - why not, if the author allows
to do so.

Posted my Belorussian translation on
http://webhostingrating.com/libs/gittutorial. If you don't mind can you
publish a tiny link with a text

<a href="http://webhostingrating.com/libs/gittutorial">Belorussian
translation</a> or whatever you feel is right.

It's great that you've translated it, I'm not sure where this should
be linked from in Git's documentation, if at all.

I'm currently working no getting i18n support for Git's core commands
up and running, after that I wanted to try getting support for
http://po4a.alioth.debian.org/ going.

That we way could translate any of our documentation and ship it as
part of Git itself, so you could have a Russian gittutorial manpage
installed along with Git.
