Hi xabier,
I am one of translators (Russian) and I can help you to start your great 
translation work. I have translate manual and homepage, so introduce you 
in this branches.

Manual.
To translate a manual you need:
1) Download file 
https://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/enigma-game/trunk/doc/manual/enigma.texi 
from SVN repository;
2) Translate English text to your native (DON'T translate tags, elements 
that forms structure and view of document);
3) Make sure that you have texi2html and texi2pdf binaries (to do it, 
write at terminal emulator e.g. such command: whereis texi2html), if you 
haven't this binaries find source codes of tetex or install package of 
tetex corresponding to your Linux distribution.
4) When you already have texi2html and texi2pdf type the following, when 
you be at directory with already translated file:
texi2html enigma_sp.texi        - compile html-file enigma_sp.html from 
existing texi-file enigma_sp.texi
texi2pdf enigma_sp.texi          - as first, but for pdf-file
5) If all is ok send enigma_sp.texi to developers.

Homepage.
To translate a homepage you need:
1) Download https://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/enigma-game/homepage 
directory from SVN (using next command: svn checkout 
svn://svn.berlios.de/enigma-game/homepage).
2) First of all edit homepage/input/output-files.lua. You need add some 
strings (for example lang_sp = "_sp") or edit existing (for example, to 
language_list = {"", "_de", "_ru"} you must add new "_sp" item).
3) Next translate html-files, but keep in mind that almost all pages 
compiles from several (2 or more) html-files. So, in one file insert 
content of other and you don't need translate and more one and lesser 
one. You only need translate lesser and it content automatically appends 
to big file, when you compile homepage. When you translate file save it 
with filename like "index_sp.html" (namely to English base name of file 
you append "_sp" suffix);
4) To compile homepage you must stand at homepage directory and type: 
lua main.lua. It check for English and translated files and generates 
needed files. After this step you may check how it looks, simply use 
your browser to view index.html at homepage directory.
5) If all is ok send translated html-files to enigma-team (but first 
inform them about completed work and ask where you can send result).

Hope it help you, if not (I can forgot something) ask me or another 
translators (for example Ronald Lamprecht) for help. Good luck!
