Hello,
Pursuant to my comments in [1], I attach a patch that restricts the use
of translated process types as indicated in $SUBJECT. This adds a
separate column to the process type list, mostly extracted from Euler's
patch, not marked for translation, and uses it in a couple of places.
I think this is more reasonable. I chose to CC Heikki here because the
business with translating these strings was, as I recall, his doing ...

Hm, I don't think I've changed how they're translated. At least not
intentionally.
+PG_PROCTYPE(B_AUTOVAC_LAUNCHER, "autovacuum", gettext_noop("autovacuum
launcher"), AutoVacLauncherMain, true)
+PG_PROCTYPE(B_AUTOVAC_WORKER, "autovacuum", gettext_noop("autovacuum worker"),
AutoVacWorkerMain, true)
It seems not nice that both have the same name, "autovacuum". Similarly,
I think it's good to have different names for dead-end backends and
regular backends.
No objections to the general idea, although I think the current
descriptions are fairly short already.
