Thread: Doc bug: switching languages
All, I just had a user come on IRC asking how to switch the the psql and server message language to their language, pt_BR. After 15 minutes of searching, I was unable to find this in our main docs anywhere, except for the lc_messages runtime.conf entry (which doesn't work for the client). Do we have a doc todo list somewhere? -- --Josh Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco

This doesn't seem to be to be a docs bug. You found the right setting --- the question is why didn't it work? regards, tom lane

The chapter "Localization" contains the required information. I think that is prominently named. What improvements do you suggest? -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/
