Great to hear you like it. If you plan on translating on a more or less 
continous basis you have two options. You can either check out the source 
code from CVS and use an editor to edit the po files. We have scripts in CVS 
which convert those to mo files which are then shipped in a release.

The other way would be to use launchpad's webbased translation feature. We 
would have to check how to integrate this into our worklfow but I believe po 
files can be downloaded from launchpad.

You could join the launchpad GNUmed development team.

Good to hear you have a background in medicine which certainly is helpful. You 
might be interested in Osirix as Dicom viewer and FOSS PACS as well as their 
XML-RPC interface to drive it from GNUmed ( GNUmed part does not exist yet)

Main source of information is wiki.gnumed.de and lately www.gnumed.de. As you 
have registered with the mailing list already there is little you can miss.

In the Wiki there is a document which will give you an overview over GNUmed. 
If any questions arise let us know and we will do our best to help you out.

What will be your target platform ?

Best regards.
