Oops, sorry, there is something wrong:
The source is indeed still contained in a CVS repository. You're right,
it's possible that there exists also a Subversion repository but IIRC it was
created only as test platform to convert existing files to Subversion. Don't
use this SVN repository!
According to http://www.debian.org/devel/website/using_cvs the current one is:
cvs.debian.org:/cvs/webwml
So just do (as long as you have no write access):
$ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.debian.org:/cvs/webwml login
(now press enter)
$ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.debian.org:/cvs/webwml checkout webwml
You can also use a graphical CVS client for this.
This repository contains already a vietnamese/ directory as the Lenny
announcement is already committed.

Right, you do not have write access yet. Since I know you well, I will
confirm that you should get an account. Nevertheless according to
http://people.debian.org/~joey/misc/webwml.html
you also need the approval of one of the webmasters (CC:ed).
Webmasters, please grant Clytie write access for Vietnamese website translations.
As far as I know her, you should expect a fully translation ready in
approximately a week :-)))
I suggest to contact one of our webmaster such as Matt Kraai or Frank
Lichtenheld via private mail so that they help you sending an encrypted
password to Joey. I know that you do not work on a Debian Linux host and may
not have a PGP key to encrypt mails (such as me currently).
