You can find the .pot file to translate here: 
http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=blob_plain;f=po/vlc.pot

Save it as vlc.pot. You can find instructions on how to translate here: 
http://www.videolan.org/developers/i18n/vlc-howto.html

Use the software poEdit to edit the .pot file. You can find poEdit here: 
http://www.poedit.net/

Save your modified file with all translations as ug.po (ug is the 
language code for Uyghur), and then send it to the translation 
co-coordinators, either xtophe (xtophe at videolan.org) or No_se 
(christoph.miebach at web.de)

--------------------------------------------------------
Addendum from Christoph Miebach:
I could also offer you the choice of using transifex. You would have to 
create an account there and request the creation of a Uyghur team here 
(only if you _want_ to use transifex):
