Hi,

My PostgreSQL client checks the PG_DIAG_SEVERITY error field to determine the 
error level.

However, I have now learned that this field is localized. This means that a 
server configured with --enable-nls might for example return the string ERREUR 
instead of ERROR.

So if I want to determine the error level, do I need to compare against all 
localised variations in my app? Or is there another way?

I browsed through the PostgreSQL source and discovered that 
pq_parse_errornotice() (in src/backend/libpq/pqmq.c) uses the same naive 
strcmp() approach to determine error level. This means that it will fail when 
the server is compiled with --enable-nls. I am not sure what the impact of this 
is, since I couldn't really figure out where that function is used.

Best regards,
Jakob
