This is a Tamil Translation / localization file with just few entries. I will be adding the translations incrementally based on checks and reviews.

Thank you for providing a new language support for Git. You will find some l10n conventions in po/README.md, and there is a helper program that will check your contributions based on these conventions.

You can mark your pull request as DRAFT before it's ready for merge. And you should complete the core set of l10n messages, see the descriptions about the "po/git-core.pot" file in section Dynamically generated POT files.

You should check and learn to write commit logs from other l10n contributors:

git log -- po/de.po

Hi @jiangxin,
I am unable to find the right make tools for windows operating system. Please recommend the right one to run the validation locally.

Hi @jiangxin, I am unable to find the right make tools for windows operating system. Please recommend the right one to run the validation locally.

The helper program for l10n is written in golang. I suppose it could be compiled on Windows, at least on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

You can try to install using:

go install github.com/git-l10n/git-po-helper@latest

Or you can clone source code locally:

git clone https://github.com/git-l10n/git-po-helper.git

Compile and install:

cd git-po-helper
make
