If your translated git lets/forces you to say $ git ckcherry-piay astermay then that is a different story. It might be very reasonable to transla= te the "fatal:" message to alfatay: ckcherry-piay: Unableway otay itewray ewnay indexway ilefa= y and it probably becomes a fair comparison with the wikipedia situation, but otherwise no.
