Translatability was turned on for pg_upgrade on pg10, but it needs some
work.  The choices are we fix it now, or we revert the addition of NLS
there and we do it for PG11.

I think the ugliest one is to change the messages about "the %s server",
which are about a dozen -- things like:
    msgid "pg_ctl failed to start the %s server, or connection failed\n"
where the %s is either "new" or "old".

These need be to be split in two messages, and I think I'd replace the
"old" with "source" and "new" with "target".  Something like this:

*** a/src/bin/pg_upgrade/server.c
--- b/src/bin/pg_upgrade/server.c
***************
*** 285,293 **** start_postmaster(ClusterInfo *cluster, bool throw_error)
                           PQerrorMessage(conn));
                if (conn)
                        PQfinish(conn);
!               pg_fatal("could not connect to %s postmaster started with the 
command:\n"
!                                "%s\n",
!                                CLUSTER_NAME(cluster), cmd);
        }
        PQfinish(conn);
  
--- 285,297 ----
                           PQerrorMessage(conn));
                if (conn)
                        PQfinish(conn);
!               if (cluster == &old_cluster)
!                       pg_fatal("could not connect to source postmaster 
started with the command:\n"
!                                        "%s\n", cmd);
!               else
!                       pg_fatal("could not connect to target postmaster 
started with the command:\n"
!                                        "%s\n", cmd);
! 
        }
        PQfinish(conn);



Aye or nay?
