They usually dislike translations because they think it cannot convey the same ideas as the original. However, for a lot of less techy people, having to use software and read documentation in a non-native language *is* a big hurdle for using computers. That is especially true when it comes to complex software, such as Git. I would very much like to see the core git commands translated. The command-line svn client already talks Swedish to me (cvs does not, though), and I would be very happy to teach git the same. I already did translate git-gui and gitk, which was as much for my own benefit as others. -- \\// Peter - http://www.softwolves.pp.se/
