Problem with error messages

We already wrote in pgsql-bugs (#11550), but there it was recommended to
transfer this topic to the translator team.

Now the problem:
If we set client_encoding to Latin9 (as we are here in Germany), we get as
nearly every error message from PostgreSQL: character with byte sequence
0xe2 0x80 0x9e in encoding UTF8 has no
equivalent in LATIN9

Why:
In 9.x we have new characters for delimiting words.

An example:
"Drop table if exists mickeymouse;"
delivers in PG-8.4

HINWEIS: Tabelle „mickeymouse“ existiert nicht, wird übersprungen

but delivers in PG-9.3

HINWEIS: Tabelle »mickeymouse« existiert nicht, wird übersprungen

If we set client_encoding to Latin9 (as we are here in Germany), we get an
error message from PostgreSQL:
character with byte sequence 0xe2 0x80 0x9e in encoding UTF8 has no
equivalent in LATIN9

but we do not see the real error message: "Table ... does not exist"

So a proposal: Please change these delimiters to something which can be
compiled to any foreign language, as " or similar
