The best place to start is i18n.kde.org.  This page, in particular:

  http://i18n.kde.org/doc/gettingstarted.php

As you will see, KDE Handbooks are written in DocBook (XML) format.  ATM, 
there aren't any WYSIWYG DocBook editors, unfortunately, so most people write 
their handbooks using Quanta or Kate.

If you have additional questions, channel #kde-docs on irc.kde.org is a good 
place to go, but keep in mind that translators are very busy at the moment 
preparing for KDE 3.4 final release.
