Maybe you should ask some translation groups if they need a hand. There are a ton of groups out there that are in your exact opposite situation: They know a lot about programming, but don't know Japanese. Try to find a group that is translating a game or series that you love, and you'll be much more motivated.
I emailed the guys doing the Shining Force III translation. Let's see if I hear back from them.
The games I really love don't really need translations (shmups and racing games) so I don't mind doing RPGs. RPGs aren't my forté, but I still enjoy em.
There's always room for more Tales games translations.
Speaking of which, I have more good news! The team that made the Fatal Frame 4 translation is at work on a translation for Tales of Graces! Yeah, everyone has pretty much given up hope of that game's localization anywhere, so the team is taking matters into their own hands. Good for them. Here's the link: http://www.talesofgraces.com/

I wonder if anybody on Racketboy is working on translations, I can help!
I just feel it's a wasted skill on my part.
actually, if you really want to do some translation i know there are help wanted adds from aeon genesis (translation group). i looked at the adds and a few of them need translators.
