That was the deal. FWIW, I consider our Slony support to be less than
useless, in that it is basically a GUI analogue to writing a long
Slonik script full of apparently redundant entries.

+1

It isn't that hard to translate a few strings into all supported
languages. If a translator isn't available to translate those few
strings (and they'd have to not be answering any e-mail for that to be
the case, and it will take them less than 5 minutes), that's likely to
be in a language that isn't so widely spoken - it certainly won't be
French or German. I'd be willing to live with a poor machine
translation for a little while for those languages. If someone
complains, the complaint is likely to be all we need to fix the
problem ourselves.
