[postgis-devel] Transifex translations to already existing languages

[George Silva]

Hello Paul,

There is already the french language on transifex. The request was about
the specific "version" of french, fr_FR. For me that is the same as "en_US"
and "en_GB" that we've talked about a few months back.
