The list is more or less dead - over the past 6 months there where only between 1 and 5 messages per month. > I have no objection to calling for more translation volunteers on > this list --- in fact, probably it'd be a good idea to call for > more help on pgsql-general, too.

I do think it would be a good idea to at least send a translation summary once a quarter to the translators list and maybe include hackers and general - many might not be aware of the 80% rule. Also an automated summary one ore two months before a major release as a "call for action" would be good to avoid such mishaps. Last but not least I'd be able to help with the german translation, but I have no clear idea how, or what the actual status is. Are German translators actually needed? And while I have no problem entering some texts on a website or edit a file with an editor, the process described here: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/nls-translator.html sounds complicated and leaves me unclear on quite a few things, for instance how would I submit whatever work I've done? Do I need git? An account? Where? And how does it all work? I guess a lot of potential translators who aren't programmers would be left baffled, too. Best regards, Tels
