I may translate gismu and cmavo as I translate the lessons, and as my friends need words (I asked them if they were willing to note the words they need. They can read the english definitions, that are simple, but that would give me a starting point). Although I was considering using the web forms, that do not seem practical. But my computer is very weak and I have a small screen, and so, spreadsheets are not practical either. And I don't know if I'm ready and have time to translate gismu in batch…

I was considering translating lessons first, yes. I was wondering if I should translate “Lojban For Beginners” or the wave lessons, but everybody is talking about the wave lessons, and nobody mentions “Lojban For Beginners”. I begin to think it is the way to go (and it's also more practical for me, as these are the lessons that I use, and as they are on the wiki). I mentionned the reference grammar because I'm reading them in parallel (but just reading them, while I try to *understand* the wave lessons, thus the “not actively” for the CLL).
