Hallo Massimo

I think a very useful and very small file to translate is outside the
GNOME project:
http://l10n.gnome.org/module/xdg-user-dirs

These are the common directories like "Videos", "Pictures", "Documents"
and these things. I think it can have a big impact with a small amount
of work. The effect will be visible in most GNOME applications.

About the GNOME and GTK+ translations: if your time is very limited, you
can consider leaving some error messages and the GTK+ properties
untranslated for a start. The GTK+ "stock" translations are used in many
applications, and will give you good motivation with minimal work at the
start. These “stock” messages are things like “OK”, “Cancel”, “Open”,
“Save”, “Print”, “Warning”, “Undo”, “Preferences” that are used in many
applications.

Keep well
Friedel
