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.
