Some information is here.

There are three things that could be usefully translated.
One thing that I noticed recently is the LinuxCNC web page itself.
If you look at the front pages, and hit the "German" link on the
bottom left, you don't actually get German in many cases, and in cases
where there is a German translation it is out-of-date and refers to
EMC2.
The simplest way to fix this is to email someone with edit-access to
the web content with the new translation. (I can do this).

Then there are the in-system messages. These are auto-subsitituted on
the basis of .po files. It would be useful to look through the files
for missing translations:

I have not used github myself, but there is a process for making
changes there and then sending a "pull request" to the developers to
have the changes merged.

The really big job is the documentation.

Written in Asciidoc. We need a better system for handling translation,
but in theory all you need to do is convert all those documents to
German, then become psychic so that you know when the English version
has changed so that you can update the German...
