[Eduardo Menezes]

I'm also from Brazil (São Paulo) and also would like to help translate ROS.
I also a C/C++ developer (with a few theoretical knowlegde about OS
programming but no pratice) and would like to begin helping the project. I
looked a litle to the source an really didn't know where to start/what to
do.
Anyone can help me?

Hi and welcome as well!

For starting with the source code, you should read the "Building ReactOS"
wiki page (http://www.reactos.org/wiki/index.php/Building_ReactOS).
When you're able to build your own ReactOS ISO's, you can start digging into
the source code. If you added a feature, fixed something, etc. and want it
to be included into ReactOS, please submit a patch (refer to
http://www.reactos.org/wiki/index.php/Submitting_Patches).

For other questions, you can also ask people on the #reactos IRC channel
(see http://www.reactos.org/en/community_irc.html).

Best regards,

Colin Finck

Been there, done that.
The problem is, I don't know what kind of stuff is most needed and
what should be done for the project, understand?

Yes, but we don't have an open priority list, so our general tip is: Use
ReactOS in a VM, try it out in detail and you should quickly find out, where
we need help.
If you can then fix a bug or add a feature and send in a patch to Bugzilla,
we can better assess your skills and might give you other tasks.

As already said, it's also wise to join the #reactos or #reactos-dev IRC
channels.
Most project activity happens there :-D

Best regards,

Colin
