I'd like to help improve an existing language pack. Where do I start?

Please contact the maintainer of the language pack and ask where you can help. See Translation credits for a list of translators. The top name of each language pack is the current language pack maintainer. If you don't get any response, please email translation@moodle.org.

Another option is to check whether your language has a community discussion course - see http://moodle.org/course/category.php?id=3 - and if so, post in a forum.

I've found an error in a language pack. Who do I contact?

The month names and days are displayed in English. How can I translate them?

Names of days and months are pulled out of your operating system. The system is configured for Moodle in langconfig.php where you have the strings locale (for -nix type operating systems) and localewin (for Windows operating systems) that should point to the right locale on your server. Your server operating system should support the language (= locale should be installed) - see also Month-name translation problem for an alternative solution.
