The first is to ensure that the open source tools do have localisation (l10n) of their command line messages, for which I'm sure Git's l10n team would be happy to have your communities support. - https://github.com/git-l10n and https://public-inbox.org/git/CANYiYbEJ3Gw=JvbhLBeFWBD7xLXxd=_fFdH3UX76H97ZU_3zKA@mail.gmail.com/#r The other idea is to consider how Git's version message, or something similar, should report the users current i18n settings, and any links to the right (e.g. local) support groups. At present, I don't see any obvious command to help users (and those on the help forums and lists) know what i18n nationality / language names to use for discussions. Sometimes it is worth ensuring these baby steps are in place. -- Philip
