There is nothing that I know of, but you can always try to contact
that person and propose to work together.

We suggest a new translation of the documentation be started with the
most popular pages of the website.  See also the discussion about
french translation that has lead to the french website

    http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2005-04/msg00233.html
 
Tranlating the tutorial would be nice but there are many more people
reading the website.

Yes, this is the right place.  We have two requirements: the
translation must be maintained, and a minimal set of pages must be
translated before the website goes live.

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

and

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

to get started.


Greetings,
