Re: translators working group session at pgconf.dev 2026

I’ve previously contributed to the PostgreSQL Chinese translation via
the redmine.postgresql.org platform (rather than through the mailing
list), so I’m very interested in the translators working group and
related discussions.

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to attend the conference onsite.
However, if allowed, I’d be happy to join remotely.

Look forward to participating if possible. BTW, I’m located in the
UTC+8 time zone.

Best,
Dianjin Wang
