Ah, I see. OK. So there are two ways of mine:
1. to translate myself the whole stuff in my application :-/, or
2. leaving the back end messaeges in english.
At last in most cases the server messages hold information only for the
developers. I think I'll do the second.

Many thanks.

I think we deliberately don't localize that one because it'd break various
application-level code that relies on being able to recognize that string.
(Which is pretty yucky, of course, but until someone gets around to
implementing SQLSTATE error codes for libpq's internal error reports,
there's not a lot of choice.)
