A new translation is always a good news :) Off course you can help with this.
You need to take the generated anjuta.pot file in the po/ dir from the CVS
version, because a lot of translation strings have changed since 0.1.9.

If you've got a low bandwith and don't want to download the whole CVS tarball, I
can send it to you tonight ?

If you've got cvs access, you should feel more comfortable directly the Gnome
anonymous cvs to submit patches than regularly downloading a cvs tarball.

There's coding hints in the HACKING file (in the project top-level directory), a
TODO file also, feature requests and bugs are located in sourceforge trackers
though (http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/anjuta).

For CVS, you've got some nice & easy documentation on http://developer.gnome.org.

For the translations, you're not forced to mind about it, just take the
anjuta.pot file, and you'll only have to "fill in the blanks".

Yes, check it's still in the CVS version before, but I don't think someone is
working on this one yet.

The file menu items are statically constructed with the main_menubar_def.h
declarations, and the submenus are filled in main_menubar.c and anjuta.c.

You can ask me to be more precise if you don't have the time to go trough the
whole files, or to explain the basic gtk+/gnome features if you don't know yet.

Off course not, your help is always very welcome :)
