The most useful way to contribute to the project is by reading the  
information in the wiki (especially the Howto documents), and by  
sharing the internationalization task with other translators in your  
team. This means learning from each other, helping each other with  
translation, and working together to create the best Assamese  
translation of GNOME!

I am sure your team-leader will have plenty of work for you to do. :)

Apart from translating files, language teams also work on developing  
a consistent and accurate vocabulary, reviewing translations, dealing  
with bug reports and testing input/display and other software issues  
with their language. You can also help developers understand how best  
to create software that will be appropriate for your culture. You can  
report typos in PO files, test translations and generally be a  
contributor to the GNOME project.

Please feel free to ask further questions here, if they're not  
answered by our documents in the wiki. :)
