Hi Leandro.

Take a look in this page from the wiki, there you have the svn checkout
commands: http://i18n.xfce.org/wiki/translation_guidance_in_xfce?s=checkout

There is another page that has the svn checkout command for xfce.org website
translation here: http://i18n.xfce.org/wiki/svn_howto?s=svn

This page has some informations about diff: http://i18n.xfce.org/wiki/diff

You should contact the former translator in your language before translating
as they might have other steps in the translation process (Revision, etc),
search here for your language:
