This was on my todo list after pgcon, but I hadn't figure out where to put it.
I think what I would like to do is a combination of this and my original
thinking, which would be to add a link in the side nav under "archive"
for "translations", and also a link under the "more manuals" link
for "foreign languages" on the main doc sidebar, both of which would go to a
list of foreign language translation links. This would look similar to the
international community page, where we have the names of the links in the
foreign language. Sound ok?
