Hhm, the email address for both of you is not visible.

But please note that a single person (except you) can in general not work on multiple big projects because of time contraints and other issues. To translate the website is a really huge work but restricting to the 10 most important pages (homepage, how to report bugs, maybe important announcements) would help already a lot.
