First of all, nice and self-explaining title....
Second, if you are on windows you can consider taking this program: Microsoft Visual C++ Express Edition (its free, need to register)

I dont know good programs for linux and max, but i remember that someone said that he uses Kate to edit the sources of teeworlds.

Re: [HELP]

First of all you should know, that editing the client or mods is not that easy, as one might expect. In fact what you do is editing the source of the program. Teeworlds is coded in c++, which means if you want to work on mods, you need to be capable of programming in this language. If you are not and still want to start modding, the first thing to do is learning c++. There are a lot of good tutorials for beginners out there in the web, google is your best friend in this case.
My preferred editors for editing source files are:

Windows: Notepad++
Linux: Gedit, Vim
Mac: TexWrangler

But these are just a few out of a whole lot of good texteditors with syntax highlighting, try out some of them (again, google will help you a lot wink), and you'll surely find the one that suits you best.

Re: [HELP]

Take whatever smart editor, it will work - I personnaly use Notepad++, running on Windows.
Although, you should start with programming little projects not with a bam, but with a classic devlopment interface, like (for Windows) Code::Blocks, Visual Studio and so on... Kate is enough for Linux, I sometimes use some other little notepads when running on Linux, as I told you it works with every text editor.

they using to edit clients or mods??

Ah, and btw just a little vocabulary point: a mod is a modification. The "edited clients" are modifications of Teeworlds, as well as server-side modifications.

A translation engine is already available in 0.5 trunk.
