Well, feel free to look up the git history of the current website which is
online. It goes back to 2009. It was deployed in production in 2011. It has
never had any support for that. It was deployed just after the release of
9.1. So what you tested on 9.4 was at least not the www.postgresql.org
site. For 9.1, it may have been there (I am not as certain about the old
website code). Since then, it has been links from /about/press/ that has
been the only thing.

That may not be ideal, but that's how it's been.

Agreed.

We removed automatic browser-based localization for good reasons (for one,
in that case we need to update all languages at the same time always, or
pages go out of sync). I would definitely not be happy with suggestions to
bring that back.

But maybe something along the line of what we do for docs version - with a
set of links at the top of each presskit showing which other languages it
exists in?
