Hi PostgreSQL developers! Currently (i. e. in 7.4.6) psql seems to use the default database encoding as locale for both its own messages and for database output strings. Whereas it is only an inconvenience for the latter, psql's own messages should really respect LANG/LC_MESSAGES environment variables instead of the database encoding.
It would also be nice to call "set \encoding" to match the locale psql was called under, at least when it is called interactively. Thanks and have a nice day! Martin -- Martin Pitt http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer http://www.ubuntulinux.org Debian GNU/Linux Developer http://www.debian.org
