Welcome to join AOO! I suggest you can start from our New Volunteer Orientation page for how to do translation: http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/translate.html . And besides the dev@openoffice.apache.org mail group, you should also subscript to l...@openoffice.apache.org, by sending an email to l10n-subscr...@openoffice.apache.org. In I10n, translation related topics/questions will be discussed in more details.
