We already wrote in pgsql-bugs (#11550), but there it was recommended to transfer this topic to the translator team.
Now the problem:
If we set client_encoding to Latin9 (as we are here in Germany), we get as nearly every error message from PostgreSQL: character with byte sequence 0xe2 0x80 0x9e in encoding UTF8 has no
equivalent in LATIN9
Why:
In 9.x we have new characters for delimiting words.
An example:
"Drop table if exists mickeymouse;"
delivers in PG-8.4
HINWEIS: Tabelle „mickeymouse“ existiert nicht, wird übersprungen
but delivers in PG-9.3
HINWEIS: Tabelle »mickeymouse« existiert nicht, wird übersprungen
If we set client_encoding to Latin9 (as we are here in Germany), we get an error message from PostgreSQL:
character with byte sequence 0xe2 0x80 0x9e in encoding UTF8 has no
equivalent in LATIN9
but we do not see the real error message: "Table ... does not exist"
So a proposal: Please change these delimiters to something which can be compiled to any foreign language, as " or similar
