I don't know where, but there's a "what.html" in the Debian's Web Page
that is all about it...

Let me quote a part of it here:

"  Once you start translating pages, we recommend you start with pages that     
   users are most likely to visit (in rough order of importance):               
     * Most important: main page, .wml files in the main directory. Files in    
       the following directories: intro, misc, releases, distrib, doc,          
       events, searchtmpl and security(*). Also create the translated images    
       for the navigation bar.                                                  
     * Standard: Files in the following directories: Bugs, banners, logos,      
       MailingLists(*), consultants, ports, partners and News(*).               
     * Least Important: Files in the devel(*), vote and mirror directories.     
       Since they are mostly for developers, and the primary language of        
       developers is English, it is only when you have a strong translation     
       team should you attempt to tackle these. Files or directories marked     
       by an asterisk, '*', above are modified frequently, so are harder to     
       keep up to date.                                                        "

hope it helps...

[]s! =)
