Pretty much.  The best thing to do is to send a message to the
doc at freebsd.org mailing list, in case someone else is already working on

That should be fine.

That depends on how many people you have working on the translation, and
how everybody works.  

It's certainly not a pre-requisite, but you may find it helps.
