Subject: Has anyone looked at Gettext support for Git itself?
Message-ID: <AANLkTinlDF-aKDjwvgZEqtUgzW7MCIuElQ_RfJn_RkZp@mail.gmail.com>

I couldn't find anything about this in the list archives. Have there
been any discussions of adding internationalization support to Git
itself? I.e. the interface messages that the core Git utilities emit.

I tried to get started with integrating GNU Gettext, but gnuish
assumptions it makes about building make it a bit hard.

Is there perhaps another gettext implementation that would be more
suitable for Git?

I'd be interested in submitting patches to make the existing strings
translatable if someone could get the tool + build skeleton going.
