Hmm, now that you mention it, I think I remember different systems honoring different env vars. To be safe you probably want to set the lot of them -- LANGUAGE, LANG, LC_ALL. Note that LC_MESSAGES has no effect if LC_ALL is set. I think other vars also override LC_MESSAGES in some systems. Still, this is way better than a collection of translated strings; consider a translator fixing a typo, or choosing a different wording, or a new language being added. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
