Hi Lukas,
since you expressed interested in working on german translations you should go 
ahead and read this short howto [1]. There you'll find a general overview of 
how our team works and how you can start contributing.
If you have further questions you could either see if someone in 
#gentoo-doc-de on irc.freenod.net can help you (we like to idle) or join our 
mailing list gentoo-doc-de [2] or simply ask me directly (since that's kinda 
my job).
Hope to see commits from you soon, all the best,
	Hendrik
