Welcome!  Let us know if you have any problems or questions.  Will you be
starting with the documentation, the interface, or both?

Chad Miller planned to start a German translation, but is no longer working on
it.  If he began any initial work, he will be sending it to the list soon.

Yes!  Follow the directions on this page to get the latest CVS version:
  http://audacity.sourceforge.net/developers.html

Send mail to <aud...@li...> if you have any issues building
Audacity 1.1 from source.  Also, if you send me a sourceforge account name I
can add you to the project so that you can commit your work to CVS.

It isn't necessary for working on translation, but if you have some interest
in audio software or programming, the development list may be of interest.
Warning: the list has very high traffic.  You can take a look at the archives
to get an idea of the type of discussion:

If you want to spend some extra time helping out, you can also join the
audacity-help list and answer some of the user questions that come through.
