Many of us wish at times to contribute to articles in a language in which we are less than fluent. For the sake of simplicity, the following assumes that you are trying to contribute to the English-language Wikipedia.
There are a lot of ways this can be accomplished. In any event, don't let your lack of command of the language stop you from contributing; other people will be able to help with grammar, spelling, and so on, but the information that you provide is the important starting point. Wikipedia with no content but perfect syntax would be of little use to anyone.
Please add your request to the top of the list. Give the location of the material with which you want help, and if possible why you're worried. If you can leave your request in English, great. If not, try to leave it in languages that a reasonable number of English-speakers are likely to be able to read. Always remember to sign your request with ~~~~, so that the person helping can contact you for information:
