Re: libpq messages language

Thank you for your reply

but I got the error 'LC_MESSAGES' : undeclared identifier

locale.h only defines LC_COLLATE, LC_CTYPE, LC_MONETARY, LC_NUMERIC, LC_TIME

I tried to set a system variable LC_MESSAGES, but didn't work

Then, I tried to find more information

In libpq, when ENABLE_NLS is not defined,
#define libpq_gettext(x) (x)

If I set ENABLE_NLS to 1, then I think I need the gettext library, because
it needs <libintl.h>

so, there is no simple way in windows to get messages in spanish within
libpq before connecting to server, is correct?

thanks

Set the program's locale prior to calling libpq functions.

I did not try it on Windows, but Microsoft seems to work like
UNIX in that respect:

Try something like

setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, "Spanish");

or, if your language environment is Spanish, simply

setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, "");
