Author Can't change language through LC_MESSAGES
Thomas Kellerer

2005-09-26, 8:24 pm

Hello all,

I'm trying to change the server messages back to english (initdb created
'German_Germany.1251' because I'm running a German Windows) by setting
the lc_messages property to 'C'. But the messages from e.g. pgsql or
pg_ctl still show up in German. I reloaded the config and I restarted
the PG service but to no avail. I also tried 'English' and 'POSIX' but
none of them changed the messages language.

I have now simply removed the locale subdirectory in $PGHOME/share and
that worked, but this doesn't feel right :)

What am I missing here?

Best regards
Thomas

What PG version is that, and on exactly what version of Windows? There
are some ugly Windows-specific kluges in pg_locale.c ... maybe your copy
doesn't have them, or the code still doesn't work on your Windows
version.

The server configuration only affects the server. The other programs take the
language from the environment.

Sorry for not posting that right away.
It's PG 8.0.3 and Windows 2000 (German)
