Hi Paul, in July I submitted patches to add the necessary framework for UI translations/i18n to the gitk tool [1] [2], and I'd also volunteer to provide a full German translation. As you pointed out [3], this would require some decisions on integration and installation places, which according to Junios reply [4] didn't seem too difficult. What is the progress on your i18n plans in gitk? None of the patches had been applied to gitk, have they? If you say you *are* interested, I'd be happy to provide an up-to-date patch against gitk.git @ kernel.org for #1 Makefile rules, #2 msgcat integration, and most importantly #3 message markup.
