No problem...

Seeing the state in which that translation is (overall a quite low 
percentage of translations done) on 
https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Translation#Translation_maintainers.2Fcontributors 
I would say that the current maintainer definitely needs help.

He even said so in the translation comments:

"Any help or coordinated effort is most welcome."

You are welcome to contact him to offer your help if you want. If you 
don't get any reply you can contact me at this email address or 
nriendeau at mythtv.org .

If you are interested to help then please contact Jos (see 
https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Translation#Translation_maintainers.2Fcontributors 
) I am sure he would be grateful and so would I...

Yes, we all make those which is why we have to revalidate our 
translations in context as much as possible after they are done...

This is not always possible though because we sometimes have to 
translate things we cannot actually test.

We are lucky for one of the translations I work on (I work on the 
French, US English and Canadian English translations), the other person 
who works on it is in France so he has different tuner hardware than I 
do (I am in Canada, NTSC/ATSC land...) so we can actually with different 
tuner hardware.

Yes, that is definitely a biiiiiig problem...

Me too which is why most of my implication in MythTV is on the 
translation side of things... This is a place where I can help *right 
now*...

I can code a little in C++ but I am not as comfortable in that language 
as I am in the languages I normally use...

Thank you and have a nice day!
