Greetings,

Git is translated into many languages, but as far as I can see, it does not take localisation formats into account nor it allows them to be translated into localised formats.

For instance, in Turkish (and in French AFAIK), percentages are indicated in different formats. In Turkish it precedes the number like %54. However, all the percentages use the standard 54%. By marking these as translatable, we could easily provide the correct formats.

Another thing is the decimal signs. In many languages, a comma (,) is used to indicate decimals, however Git does not allow another formats. I am not sure how to achieve this in C, but it would be great to have this in order to have an errorless professional look in Git outputs.

Thank you very much for your attention.
