FWIW, I still work on the french translation of the .po files, though I
don't work anymore on the main backend translation (postgres.po). It's
way too complicated to do a good translation of server messages, and it
looks to me more important to do translation on the tools (psql,
pg_basebackup, etc). So I work only on those translations.

If someone else wants to work on the main backend translation, that's
fine by me, but I won't do it (though I can commit this translation).
