My oppinion on localization of software (and its documentation) is generally a negative one. - People who use software like git are (in my experience) people who have a solid foundation of english, especially when it comes to computer-topics. - The effort that goes into translating the vast git documentation and keeping it up-to-date isn't small, energy better spent in other areas. - Translating a lot of technical terms into a language like german is really ugly and not fun to read. I always prefer reading english documentation and using non-localized versions of programs as it enables me to easier partake in discussions about it and also enables me to google for error messages without trying every different language the message could be in ;) But thats just me, if you want to start a translation effort knock yourself out Greetings, Jojo -- Johannes Gilger <heipei@xxxxxxxxxxxx> http://hackvalue.de/heipei/ GPG-Key: 0x42F6DE81 GPG-Fingerprint: BB49 F967 775E BB52 3A81 882C 58EE B178 42F6 DE81 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
