> how we can contribute with Horde 4 ?

Join the dev list (http://horde.org/mail/), look in the wiki  
(http://wiki.horde.org/), look at enhancement requests for Horde  
(http://bugs.horde.org/).

> where I can see their goals ?

At the moment the best statement of goals for Horde 4 is probably in  
the first Horde board meeting minutes:

I've wanted something like this for a long time. Giapeto was a start  
at it, but it didn't get very far.

If you ask on the dev list and have code, I am sure you will have lots  
and lots of comments. :)

Great!

Translation of the docs would be great, but if you're more excited  
about a CMS type app, I am not going to discourage you at all. :)
