Thanks for the offer. We are currently moving our SVN repository to a
new server, so you'll have to be patient for a little while before you
can get started ;-)
The idea is that http://i18n.xfce.org/ will soon contain explanations of
how to work with translations and SVN.
Daichi Kawahata and Jean-Francois Wauthy are the leaders of the
translation team and I think they have some scripts to make it easier to
work with SVN. I'll let them answer you about that. Daichi also has a
translation guide, if I'm not mistaken.
I am currently maintaining the Dutch translation, but I'm happy with any
help I can get (there's a couple of other things I need to do as well ;-).
Are you familiar with how translations work with gettext and po-files?
Basically, you have a file, nl.po, that contains all translatable
strings of a program and their translations.
