you may of course simply translate stuff and offer it for download via
some place of your own, but chances of avoiding duplicating work and
reaching more people are larger when cooperating in a project.

Here are a few places to look, for starters:
Translation Project:
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/
KDE:
http://l10n.kde.org/ (seems to be down ATM :( )
SUSE:
http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Translation_Guide
(BTW: if you get stuck on what to do here, feel free to mail back, and
I'll try and help you in the right direction, though it might take a
while during summertime...)
Gnome Translation Project:
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gtp/
OpenOffice:
http://l10n.openoffice.org/
http://native-lang.openoffice.org/
Debian:
http://www.debian.org/international/
Ubuntu:
http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate#head-e450a35ca52e3e880b63ca37575f43031a73a0ce
Mozilla:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/l10n/

IMHO, many of those projects seem to have forgotten they have to make it
*easy* for translator volunteers to find the right starting place...

BR,
Gudmund
