Bruce Momjian a134ee3379 Update documentation on may/can/might: 
Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways:

        may - permission, "You may borrow my rake."

        can - ability, "I can lift that log."

        might - possibility, "It might rain today."

Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as
in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better
choice.  Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".

Also update two error messages mentioned in the documenation to match.

Bruce Momjian 0e2f88a6d5 We don't put URL's in ulink's because the URL is always generated, but 
we can put words in ulink and the URL will still be printed.

 evenly split between the two before. ref/ files not yet done.

Peter Eisentraut e542036461 Native Language Support (NLS) 
Use --enable-nls to turn it on; see installation instructions for details.
See developer's guide how to make use of it in programs and how to add
translations.

psql sources have been almost fully prepared and an incomplete German
translation has been provided.  In the backend, only elog() calls are
currently translatable, and the provided German translation file is more
of a placeholder.
