This is good to hear.

Martin took time to explain me how version control/svn and related
stuff works, which is really interesting, but I still find it quite
confusing. I also suspect, that I'm not the only one (though I'm
probably a representative of Windows wave which is relatively new to
GRASS and generally unaware of svn etc.) who is confused about how
much steps you need to do besides just translating.

I'd  suggest  it would help having more simple and direct procedure to
people  to start participating and not bothering with checking svn and
running  into  issues  with  code/po relations. We tried Pootle, which
seems  to  be  a  nice  alternative, especially for completely new and
finished  translations  that  require  some  revising. There should be
something else that can be done to make process easier to participate,
I guess.

I know you're great community and always ready to help, so this just a
suggestion and may be you already gave it some thought and I'm all
wrong :)

We will!
