afaik no one has proposed that yet. It sounds like a Good Thing in
principle, but I don't know what would be involved in internationalizing
the message strings. It might substantially raise the level of effort
for development, since some of the developers are not adept at languages
other than English and hence others would have to maintain the message
catalogs. Minor changes in messages would become more difficult I
suppose.

We would also need to stay compatible with the licensing for the rest of
Postgres, but that may not be an issue here. I assume that there are no
runtime restrictions on the code and files gettext produces?
