As Alex said, it wouldn't be too good to start our translation as we
might end up with another one by the TP in the end.

That wouldn't prevent anyone from joining the TP 
( http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/HTML/ ) and translating WE.
Actually, when browsing some of the translation team pages, I found some
of the translations marked as 'external'. So I guess if we approach the
TP and say: "hey guys, we have our own <enter preferred language here>
translation" they'll take a note of that and we'll be fine.


As for the tools: all you need is a text editor. However, there's a more
comfortable gettext mode for emacs and there are some kde tools to help
with the translation as well.

Our own dlgedit might be useful too, as you can test your translation of
the dialogues with that and see if everything fits well together.
