I think "Reg me Please" got you wrong, here's the answer: To set the locale for server messages, set the server configuration parameter "lc_messages" to the appropriate value. You can either do this for the current session with the SQL command: SET lc_messages='....'; or you can change the default in postgresql.conf and reload. To change the locale of messages *by* psql, libpq and other client programs, change the current locale where you start the client. How you do this depends on the operating system; on UNIX you do it by setting the LANG environment variable.
