Hello, I'm maintainer of manpages-l10n[1], a collection of translations of man pages for over 100 projects into many languages.

Our policy is to move translations into the upstream project where possible. Only where projects are not interested in maintaining the translations for their man pages themselves we host them[2].

Recently one of our translators approached me to translate the man pages for git. Before adding them, I want to check with you if you are interested in adding translations of the man pages directly in the git project.

(Technically, po4a has been proven to be a good tool to maintain man page translations).

Thanks for considering i18n your man page part.

Greetings

         Helge

[2] We collected many translated man pages from the web in the past
    and transferring them upstream is a (very) slow process.
