In any case, translating nano is very easy. Just grab the nano.pot file from the latest and greatest nano distribution (it's in the po/ directory) and translate each line into your native language on the msgstr line. When you're done, you should send it to the TP's central po repository.

The best way would probably be to e-mail the person listed in the Last-Translator: field in the <your_language>.po file with your suggested corrections and they can make the changes reach the nano-devel list.
