I don't use zsh, but I guess that's because the help strings are hard coded in there (in English of course). You can start at __git_zsh_cmd_common() function.

These strings are available (or at least possible to make them available) from 'git' binary, which should be translated. It's just a a matter of hooking up to zsh script.
