I really don't mind how the URL looks. That is up to you.

The response shows me that we could need it for French, Spanish,
Italian and German.

My feeling says that also Japanese could have interests.

Anyway - fr, es, it and de - these are also languages where I don't see
a problem with policy violating checks. There are enough contributors
speaking the language. I think you know what I mean.

I think something like http://planet.postgresql.org/en-fr-de-it-es/ is not
necessary.

I am not a fan from statistics at all but when there are statistics then
I think it is necessary that they are counted for all languages and not
English only.

I think en-fr-de-it-es - showing all contents on one page will end up in
chaos.

Latest when we would add Russian or Japanese I would bet that you
maximum will find
a handful ppl understanding all languages.

It might be a good idea just showing the topics ordered by timestamp
linked to the
special language planet. But not the whole blog content.
