You'd better to ask to place the below above to
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/.  Currently only French and Japanese
are listed. I'm sure there are more local translations.

Not only people living in Korea are interested in Korean translated
docs. There are many Korean speaking people in the world. Same thing
can be said to other languages of course.

Best regards,
