Hi surquizu,
I got interested in this project. If you like we can start with a small test. Important points are:

• One has to sacrifice one of the supported languages for the new one.
• The length of the translation must not be longer than the original expression.
• There is no guarantee that one can apply the same patch to future firmwares.

I guess for Catalan it would be best to sacrifice Spanish. One reason is that Spanish seems to have rather long expressions. And I think that, as long as not all strings are translated, a mixture of Catalan and Spanish is more convenient as a mixture of Catalan and English or German and so on. If however you think it is better to sacrifice another language, please tell me.

I prepared a file with the Spanish strings. Each line has the following format:

function_identifier{ref}reference_string{tr}spanish_expression

In order to provide the Catalan translation, one would have to replace spanish_expression by the Catalan translation. For testing purposes, it would be nice if you could provide some sample translations of the main menus or anything that is easy to check (that excludes for instance achievments). If we decide to continue after this test, I will try to provide some tool that helps inputting the translation.

I did a mini test myself. I simply reversed some strings of the German interface (for instance Extras > Sartxe). I attach the image and the patch file as an example.
