You could try setting the LANG environment variable. I've got an
English installation of Windows 7 but setting LANG=sv before starting
git gui or gitk causes the program to show what looks like Swedish
labels and menus.

If you fire up wish on its own (it is installed with msys Git) and
enter 'package require msgcat; msgcat::mclocale' in the console window
it should be showing something other than 'en' if your Windows
installation is non-English. There might be a bug for the Tcl people
here (comp.lang.tcl or the sourceforge bug tracker).
