You certainly can try. Whether a one-man effort is going to succeed
is completely up to you. The french translation is a group effort and
AFAIK they are not yet finished (and it appears that it is stalled);
in contrast, the german translation is a one-man effort and it was
finished in three months.

I suggest you take a look at how the french guys are doing it. The
website about it (in french) is http://traduc.postgresqlfr.org.

A different question is whether you can translate Postgres itself. See
http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/nlsinfo/
