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.
