I notice that the FAQs tend to give conflicting answers
regarding the latest version of postgres; none of them
matching the home page:
"The latest release of PostgreSQL is version 8.3.3." [1]
"Die neueste Version von PostgreSQL ist 8.2.5." [2]
"A última versão do PostgreSQL é a versão 8.2.5." [3]
"PostgreSQL 最新的版本是版本 8.2.1" [4]
"PostgreSQL 最新的版本是版本 8.2.3" [5]

Do those reflect the last time the product was released
in the corresponding languages?

If not, can whatever generates/publishes the website have some
global search&replace for version numbers?

If it's hard to set up a global search&replace, perhaps
that FAQ entry should just be removed, since it seems
to be misleading more often than helpful.
