I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for that to change. A possible workaround is to run the postmaster with lc_messages=C and then switch to your desired message language per-session. It would certainly work to send lc_messages along with client_encoding in the startup packet; or possibly you could set those settings as per-database or per-role settings to avoid needing to teach the application code about it. This would mean that bad-password and similar errors would come out in English, but at least they'd be validly encoded ... regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
