No the config option for languages is to allow pgsql to choose
languages to operate in, like error messages and psql. You can put
any languages you want into the database.

I don't have a clue what that does. PostgreSQL by default, in the
past, pgsql split files into 1G chunks. Could be some kind of change

The only option I ever set is bigint dates.
