The announcement template described Apache Fesod as a "distributed transaction solution", which is copy-pasted from another Apache project. Release managers copy this block verbatim into the announcement mail, so the wrong description would be sent to announce@apache.org and every mirror. Use the project description from README.md verbatim, so the announcement and the README stay consistent. "Spreadsheet files" also covers XLS, XLSX and CSV, unlike the narrower "Excel files". Both the English file and the Chinese translation are updated; the sentence stays in English in the Chinese file because it is part of the mail template.

Problem
website/community/release/release-version.md:712(and the Chinese translation at the same line) describes Apache Fesod as:That sentence belongs to a different Apache project. This block is the release announcement mail template — the release manager copies it verbatim and sends it to
announce@apache.org, which then reaches every mirror and subscriber list. The wrong description would be published as the official announcement of the release.The sentence sits inside a fenced
textcode block (section 6.2 Release Announcement), so it does not read as page copy and is easy to miss when reviewing the page.Change
Replace it with the project description from
README.md, verbatim:"Spreadsheet files" is deliberate: it covers XLS, XLSX and CSV, whereas "Excel files" would exclude the CSV support the library provides.
Both the English file and the Chinese translation are updated in the same commit. The sentence is inside the mail template code block and is intentionally left in English in the Chinese file — updating only one side would create a new translation drift.
Verification
The rendered page can be checked at https://fesod.apache.org/community/release/release-version#62-release-announcement (section 6.2).
Risk
None. Text-only change inside an email template; no build, API or behaviour impact.
This is the first of a small series fixing factual errors in the release runbook. The download link (
:715) and the Release Notes link (:718) on the same page are wrong too and will be sent as separate PRs, together with a link checker so this class of dead link is caught automatically.
