!    <command>initdb</command> initializes the database cluster's
!    default locale and character set encoding.  Some locale categories
!    are fixed for the lifetime of the cluster, so it is important to
!    make the right choice when running <command>initdb</command>.
!    Other locale categories can be changed later when the server is
!    started.  <command>initdb</command> will write those locale
!    settings into the <filename>postgresql.conf</filename>
!    configuration file so they are the default, but they can be changed
!    by editing that file.  To set the locale that
!    <command>initdb</command> uses, see the description of the
!    <option>--locale</option> option.  The character set encoding can
     be set separately for each database as it is created.
     <command>initdb</command> determines the encoding for the
     <literal>template1</literal> database, which will serve as the
!    default for all other databases.  To alter the default encoding use
