Perhaps is it possible to ask the user at install time ? I mean, the
user installs pgAdmin software with the installer, the installer asks
him if he wants to get a localized help file. If the user agrees, the
installer shows him all languages available. When the user finally
choose his language, the installer downloads the files and installs
them.
