Translating the wiki
Translated copies of pages should be named PageName/xx, where PageName is the name of the page and xx is the language code. A list of language codes can be found at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:Languages#Supported_languages
For example, the French translation of this page should be named Translations/fr and the German translation Translations/de.
A box of links to alternate language versions of a page can be added using {{Languages|PageName}} (this is the same for all translations, don't use {{Languages|PageName/xx}}). The English page and all translations should have this, if it isn't there already then add it at the beginning of the page.
Translating the game
It is currently very difficult to apply translations to the game, especially for languages which use different characters to English. However, there is a text file that you can translate. It is out of date and does not contain all the text currently in the game, but it will give a starting point for translations if the developers ever get round to giving the game better support for multiple languages.
Simply download the default english.txt file and translate: http://paste.ubuntu.com/552330/
