Hi, Currently the same message goes to server log and client app. Sometimes it bothers me since I have to analyze server logs and discovered that lc_messages is set to pt_BR and to worse things that stup^H^H^H application parse some error messages in portuguese. My solution has been a modified version of pgBadger (former was pgfouine) -- that has its problems: (i) translations are not as stable as english messages, (ii) translations are not always available and it means there is a mix of translated and untranslated messages and (iii) it is minor version dependent. I'm tired to fight against those problems and started to research if there is a good solution for backend.
I'm thinking to carry both translated and untranslated messages if we ask to. We store the untranslated messages if the new GUC (say server_lc_messages) is set. The cost will be copy to new five variables (message, detail, detail_log, hint, and context) in ErrorData struct that will be used iif server_lc_messages is set. A possible optimization is not to use the new variables if the lc_messages and server_lc_messages does not match. My use case is a server log in english but I'm perfect fine allowing server log in spanish and client messages in french. Is it an acceptable plan?
