Help on autocompletion not localized?

Jean-Noël Avila· Sep 11, 2018, 12:52 UTC · lore

Hi,

When invoking the autocompletion help with <TAB><TAB> after a double hyphen under zsh, the help list is not localized. I guess the help list comes from some usage output of the on-going git command, but I wasn't able to find where and how this happens (completion scripts are quite hairy).

Thanks

I don't use zsh, but I guess that's because the help strings are hard coded in there (in English of course). You can start at __git_zsh_cmd_common() function.

These strings are available (or at least possible to make them available) from 'git' binary, which should be translated. It's just a a matter of hooking up to zsh script.
