The internationalisation (i18n) in gnome is preformed using
the gettext package. As a result, the translators do not
actually need to read the sources at all. You should find
details in the gettext info pages.
Going through all the gnome packages and creating swedish
.po files would be very helpful!

Your best way in is to write a small app or applet that you
think will be useful and submit it to one of the guys at redhat.
Alternatively, hook onto one of the TODO problems in one of
the larger existing packages (like gwp) and work out patches
to implement it and submit those to the package author. Once
they have a chance to see your code they will probably give
you access to the gnome cvs server and then you can work on
bits and pieces all over the place. (:
