Hello Hans-Christoph! Sorry for not getting back to you before now... 1st: thanks for explaining! Now it´s clear about what´s the translation activities are about! 2nd: I think what might be possible is to start with a transifex translation work - and from there see how things go 3rd: Yeah... Floss manuals would be great to translate. I think all these things will be a matter of available time. I will start with the transifex soon I hope!
I might give you a question or two if there is some things around the transifex that i dont get.
