This page contains some information about the PostgreSQL National Language Support effort. Please read the information about NLS in the PostgreSQL Documentation for background and technical information. Some of the information on this page may eventually be migrated there as it stabilizes. There's also the GNU Gettext Manual, which is only partially relevant for us, but it might be good to look at anyway.

Status

The status tables shows which areas of the PostgreSQL source are prepared for translation, and the progress of those translations. There you can also download freshly baked PO files that are merged up against the latest program sources. No PostgreSQL source tree is needed for translation work.

Communicating

If you have any questions about the PostgreSQL translation project, including

  • you want to start a new translation or continue an existing one and you want to avoid duplicating your work with someone else,

  • you're looking for other people who want to work with you on translating,

  • you're having technical questions about tools, the source tree, the meaning of terms, etc.,

then write to the mailing list . More information about our mailing lists is available.
