Well, there's the Translation Issues forum, that'd be a good place to start.

As for Redshirt2, well, that's what the forum has a search option for; search for "Redshirt2 decryption" and you'll find what you need.

And welcome to the boards. :D

Edit: I left out xander's tidbit below, because it's something you probably would have found out reading the Translation Issues board as I suggested above.

You don't need redshirt2 to do a translation. The original language files are stored in a file called languages.dat. This file is, in fact, a .rar archive -- change the extension and extract it. You can then translate the game line by line. Save the translation as "strings_default.txt", and you can distribute it as a mod.
