There are several components to that:
1. You need a script that copies the po files from the pgtranslation
repository to the pgjdbc repository before a release. That is the easy
part.
2. You need scripts that merge existing po files with the current code,
for publishing on the web. Those scripts would also have to interact
reasonably with the existing scripts.
3. The interaction with branches would need to be worked out. We
currently also publish and manager translations for PostgreSQL back
branches, but that doesn't align well with the JDBC driver. I'm not
sure how to sort that out.
