As the user guide hasn't yet started to get translated, there's nothing there 
yet. :)
Though, just today I was working on some short author/translator/language-specific pages that shall be linked from the translation website to assist future contributors. Unfortunately, the exact thing you need - lists of Haiku terms and their translations - I have postponed, expecting it to be filled over time while the translations are done... :) 


Maybe sending a lot of emails to this list is not a good idea, what
solution could work better ?
Maybe, creating a Google document with a table listing all needed English terms and columns for every language is a possibility. Create a forum thread at haiku-os.org explaining what you need and ask everyone interested to mail you so you can invite them to work on it.
Another thing: How does e.g. Ubuntu do it? Isn't there a list of standard terms and their translations that could be extracted somehow?
