Wolfgang, My suggestion is to consider compiling Git from sources, as Ubuntu has stopped applying non-security updates (for the most part) to 13.10--which includes most Git updates. That's the best way to ensure you get the latest translations checked out, QA'd and submitted by Ralf.

(I'm probably going to do that with a 13.10 that I have at home when I get a chance--most likely next week.)
