It's always great to see more people interested in translating the docs - welcome! There are basically four steps to starting a FreeBSD documentation translation project, and the fun part is that most of them are optional :) 0. Check http://www.FreeBSD.org/docproj/translations.html to see if somebody's already working in your language - looks like you've done your homework ;) 1. Find a couple of people interested in translating the docs to your language - and I'm pretty sure that most translating projects have started with just one, like you :) 2. Put up a website or a mailing list describing what has been translated so far, what is being translated right now, and who is doing it - this is mainly for your own convenience, but it might also work out in your favor: if people stumble onto this page, they just might decide to join and help you! 3. If you've put up a website or a mailing list, send a patch to www@ (preferably using send-pr/GNATS) to add info about your project to the www/en/docproj/translations.sgml file. If there is no list or site yet, you can still put in a blurb about your project with just your e-mail address in there. 4. Do the actual translation! Yeah, looks like you can't get by without this part... 5. Put up your translated documents in a tarball of some sort on a website somewhere and send an e-mail to doc@ (or www@, if you are translating the website) with the tarball location, so we can check it into the Project's CVS repository :) 6. Profi... oops sorry, wrong list! :P I think that only points 0, 4 and 5 are 'mandatory', and you seem to have already done 0 and at least part of 4 - and in the words of Meatloaf, "two out of three ain't bad" :) So once again, welcome, and keep up the good work!
