Like I said, I can see that defaulting format-patch to output English is a good idea (since its output is "protocol data" and not something for human consumption), it is the output from diff and show that I want to have localized.

I'll see if I can come up with a patch that cater for both use-cases. Maybe I can also fix so that log output is fully localized at the same time (translating "commit", "author", "date" and outputting locale dates (although my locale usess ISO dates, so I can get proper formatting there already)).
