There was a long discussion some months ago on this list concering the
localization of git-gui into german. Maybe you'll find some inspiration
here:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/git.git;a=blob;f=git-gui/po/de.po;hb=HEAD

It would probably be very worthwile to follow the translations there
because users of git-gui will feel at home at once instead of having to
re-learn things.
