Call for translations
Some of you have already been doing a great job, but I would like to point out
that with the upcoming release of PostgreSQL 8.3, it is once again time to
update the message translations. We are now near a string freeze, which has
traditionally been associated with the first release candidate, so it's a
good time to do this work now.
If you want to help, see <http://pgtranslation.projects.postgresql.org/> for
instructions and other information. If there are already active translation
teams, please communicate with them first. The mailing list
<pgtranslation-translators@pgfoundry.org> is available for general discussion
and coordination of translation activities.

I would like to propose this patch. This avoids an inconsistent message
wording, and removes the need to translate a string by duplicate.
