you can contribute on other things, like porting, which need C knowledge
but not specific knowledge of the system. if you're interested, see

Never heard of it. if there aren't translations in CVS, i guess not :)

for translation of webpages ask in [EMAIL PROTECTED] for translation
of documentation or code (whenever gettext is), you can send patches against
the CVS tree to [EMAIL PROTECTED] see FAQ sections 8.4-5 for details:
