There was a project started by Marc Weber (Cc).  Marc made an initial
translation in July 2005.  We then had discussions with a lot of
suggestions going until 2006, but did not receive an update.

Because of your post, I have just added Marc's last effort to the GIT
repository.  It would be up to you (and Marc) to see if this is
helpful, or if you would want to start fresh.

If we do not hear from Marc, I will try to add make the changes that
Werner and I suggested to GIT.

Marc, are you there?  Do you have an updated version available?

and
   
http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=lilypond.git;a=blob_plain;f=TRANSLATION;hb=web/master

for how to get started.

See also the discussion about french documentation

that has lead to the french website.
