You should set the locale to the right value on the server start script.
Make sure your platform supports it.

I don't quite understand. You cannot have a database which is UTF-8,
LATIN1 and LATIN2 at the same time.

By the way, this is the wrong list for this question. This list is
dedicated to bugs of PostgreSQL and this is not it.

Feel free to mail pgsql-novice(at)postgresql(dot)org (or mail me privately if
you think I can be of any help).
