I believe there is a CVS program for windows available. If you uncle's
computer is connected to the internet, then you could use such a program
to do the work from his machine.
An alternative is to use CVS to get the files to a machine at the university
and then bring the files home to work on them. If the problem at the
university is simply space, you don't need to create a local copy of
the entire web site at once. You could simply fetch only those directories
you are working on.
Another thing to consider is finding a group of people to work on this
with you. This is a good idea anyway as most people find it difficult
to do a translation alone for a long time. If your university has a
Linux Users' Group, approach them about getting a group to work on it.
If your university doesn't have a LUG, start one!
