I think it would be a really good addition to git to move this list into a built-in or an option for "git help", something like: git i18n-terms Or: git help --common-terms It would help users that use a non-English a lot, since they could use it as a reliable cheatsheet, and it would clearly help translators, since it could be one of the first things they'd translate, to anchor themselves when it comes to translating blob/tree/commit/tag etc. If you're interested I can help you come up with that. Basically it would be some "static" array with that table as C code with strings marked with N_(). We could then add optional explanations as in gitglossary(7) (and even eventually generate that documentation from that code). > Le 29/01/2022 à 20:35, rsbecker@xxxxxxxxxxxxx a écrit : >> To the git translators. >> >> I was wondering whether there is an official translation dictionary for >> git-related terms.
