Yes. I have seen :-)

Well even 30% are incomplete, but I think a minimum is required or people 
get too confused.

I use Linux:

- Install ant, java-devel, perl, svn and probably some other stuff
- svn co http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/editors/josm
- cd josm/i18n
- copy your new file to po
   - add new file in build.xml when new language
- ant (builds translation file in ../core/lib)
- cd ../core
- ant && java dist/josm-custom.jar

;-)
