For minor and major releases, french translated docs are available the
same day PostgreSQL is released. It's not really a big deal for minor
releases. It's much more work for a major release, so we begin to work
on the translation when the first beta appears and we translate every
beta and RC release.

One major issue is the release.sgml file which is hard and tedious to
do. Last one aren't translated because it's too much work. I really need
to work on this.

Having the translated one on the PostgreSQL main website would be a bit
hard because of the search functionality. I think a link would be simpler.

On the search functionality, I added it to the french translation web
site : it's really simple to do with the text search facility of
PostgreSQL 8.3.
