So is this possible at all in Windows? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/bb896001.aspx According to this table Locales support ANSI and OEM codepages, but there is no mention of Unicode encodings. Don't know what ANSI codepage "0" or OEM codepage "1" means, anyway this is not given for german or english language. I tried to change the lc_messages configuration variable in postgresql.conf. Setting has been > # These settings are initialized by initdb, but they can be changed. > lc_messages = 'German_Germany.1252' # locale for system error message I tried to change it to German_Germany.UTF-8, which caused a fallback to english messages. May be because the value is invalid at all, or may be because there are no translations for this locale. (BTW having messages in english seems to be a usable work-around, since these messages are ASCII only. It is also possible to manually set lc_messages back to 'German_Germany.1252' per session, so that the logfile contains english messages from the "postmaster" and UTF-8 encoded german messages from the sessions. But would this be a solution for default Windows installations?)
