 I can't see any security rationale for restricting it.

The language on the frontend is the same as the one used for the server
log, so a user could effectively encrypt his part of the server log for
the administrator.  Doesn't seem very nice.

Also, gettext doesn't really allow you to change the language at run time
anyway, so the PGC_SUSET is a good-luck option for testing.
