No problem. Simply ignore first URL. All others are english :-)

I would recommend start from how-it-works-diagram:
http://code.google.com/p/vtuner/wiki/BigPicture

and then have a look  at wiki. where you can some
step-by-step info.

Anyway, don't hesitate to ask any question in our forum
or write me directly.
