* The translation of a book, even in parts requires that the translators be aware of the whole content of book. This usually requires for each translator to have read the book and to agree with some common style of output.

* Git is a computer tool. Pro Git tries to make it affordable to not so technical-savy people and it's really good that the translators do not work on the core of git, because it's a user's perspective that is needed for the most part of the book. That also means that the translation may be deceiving if the translator has never used Git. Good translators must be Git users to actually keep Progit understandable.

Translating the book is the first step. Once this is finished, you could consider translating the user interface of Git itself.
