AW: English/German terminology, git.git's de.po, and pro-git

Hi,

My vote is G+E, too. 

lb1a, Florian Breisch and I are working on the german translation of the pro-git book (hosted on git-scm.com). We use the repository [1] to share our work. If someone wants to help us, JOIN US!

The current translation of pro-git is mixed, Ger and G+E. For example, the translation of "annotated tag" is "Annotated Tag", "kommentierter Tag" and also "kommentierte Markierung". I agree with the opinion of Jan Engelhardt that german terms should be used if they are commonly used in technical context ("tree"=> "Baum" but "tag" should be "Tag" in german, too).

There is a glossary for the pro-git book (see [2]) but it is not up-to-date and it is also mixed. Therefor I would like to avoid using this glossary. I like the idea of a shared wiki (git de.po and pro-git). I suggest a single page as overview and single pages for complicated terms. Maybe we can use our GitHub wiki (see also [3]).

 So long

Ralph
