I don't know how this is handled in Windows, but on a Linux computer you can enter the directory /usr/local/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/ and just rename or delete the file psql.mo. I fixed the issue permanently on my Gentoo system by disabling nls support for PostgreSQL. I hate localized messages. They are distracting, hard to figure out, or even downright silly, and you can't do efficient searches on Google in problem situations. -- Leif Biberg Kristensen | Registered Linux User #338009 Me And My Database: http://solumslekt.org/blog/
