Personally, I would suggest that the original poster talk to the folks on
freebsd-doc before beginning work, as there may be other people already
involved in the translation effort. Going ahead without saying anything is
certainly possible, but it may result in a lot of unnecessary duplication
of already completed - but uncommitted - work.
freebsd-doc would be the best place to coordinate your translation work
with others, and that's definitely the best way to get things done quickly!
