So far, it seems that most people using it has been the kind of people who thing computers should speak only English.

I'd be happy to help out with a gettextization of Git, including doing a Swedish translation. I've already translated gitk and git-gui to Swedish (and I use the translations in my day-to-day work), and would love to have the rest of the command set speak the same language as me as well.
