Hm, I guess I shouldn't have used the word "localize". I didn't
mean whether the function name should be translated; what I meant
was that we normally don't mention individual functions at all in
error messages. The messages are supposed to be written as though
a monolithic entity "the system" is speaking to you. So what
I'd propose here is just
ereport(NOTICE,
(errmsg("waiting for required WAL segments to be archived")));
or something along that line. I'm not sure if the "cleanup done" part
is important, but I'd tend to the idea that it isn't.
