I translated sidebar in LibreOffice which (how we know) comes

Very good, thank you! This ought to be the norm rather than the
exception... By the way, Polish has been 100% translated and released
for OpenOffice 3.4.1 in January 2013 so we do have Polish translators,
but I'm not sure how they are managing the 4.x translation. Anyway, you
would be more than welcome if you want to join the team, you are still
perfectly in time to make it for the OpenOffice 4.0 release.
To accept your patches (po
files) we need some written approval from you that you contribute
your work under the ALv2 to AOO. Ideally a signed iCLA.
Juergen is right: this is the ideal situation, especially for code that
comes from other project and is relicensed. For minor contributions,
however, we don't require this: attaching your files to Bugzilla is OK,
see Juergen's last and answer, more details below.
To be honest with you I don't want send my data to any organization.
I specially crate this e-mail alias to get more anonymity (and less
spam), and suddenly someone want my last name and home address. Of
course I dont assume that Apache will sell my personal data, but this
dealing is just against my privacy policy. There is another problem.
According to http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt i must send back
scan of statement, but I don't have scanner. For now I really can
only send e-mail with license statement. I think about iCLA in near
future. So, where should I send statement?
Then, the way to make your contribution is to:
- open an issue on https://issues.apache.org/ooo/ (if there are too many
fields, don't worry: we will fix them as needed; you can copy some
fields from https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=121195 )
- attach your translation to it
- state in the issue body that you are the author of the contributed
files and that you are contributing them under the Apache License,
version 2.
That will work for the time being. As you can understand, for larger
contributions we usually need better guarantees, hence the need for
signed forms.
Anonymity is not a problem at Apache. We even have committers (those
with an @apache.org address) who chose to stay anonymous and who
contribute under a pseudonym. This is accepted at Apache, but on the
form you will need to specify your full name. The form information is
regarded as highly confidential and it is only accessible to the
OpenOffice Project Management Committee.

Andrea.
