Well, there's a couple reasons for that:
1) there's no documentation that I know of which explains how to translate
the site. Nor has any attempt been make to recruit translators.

2) the translation infrastructure is very much organized around generating
all new content in English and then pushing it off to the other languages
to translate, not letting them generate their own content. This means
that, for example, postgresql.org.br would need to translate our site
*and* maintain their own. Which they're unlikely to do.
