Re: [PATCH] Internationalization of git-gui

This is a good idea. However, I assume the _ proc is just sugar. It might be better to follow a more "standard" way for this, and just import the msgcat namespace, and then you can just use [mc]. For example:

package require msgcat
namespace import ::msgcat::*
  .
  .
  .
.mbar add cascade -label [mc Repository] -menu .mbar.repository

Also, if the message catalogs are in a common location, then it might be worth looking into having gitk utilize these msg catalogs as well.

Thanks,

p.s. the frink tool (http://wiki.tcl.tk/2611) is supposed to be able to convert -text and -label switches to use msgcat...it might be worth looking into, instead of manually editing git-gui/gitk

Subject: [PATCH] Internationalization of git-gui

This is an initial patch of how internationalization (i18n) in git could be done, starting with the git-gui application (because I need that one in German to convince my workplace of switching to git).

Does this implementation look okay? If yes, I'd happily i18n'ize the rest of git-gui and provide a full German translation as well.

Thanks,

Christian Stimming
