Contributing to OSS without technical skills

As the title say, how can I contribute to OSS without the an IT background ?

I know I can of course donate and I also know some ask for translation but French is usually well translated on most software I use.

Are you technically skilled using whatever software you are trying to help? many FOSS projects need help with their documentation.

Not that much. Even for bug reporting, I don't encounter much bugs when using OSS (KDE and Libre Office mostly) and I will not complain about it :)
