Error message translation, with variable reason text
I have an ereport() in the HS patch that looks like this
ereport(trace_recovery(DEBUG1),
(errmsg("recovery cancels virtual transaction %u/%u pid %d because of
conflict with %s",
waitlist->backendId,
waitlist->localTransactionId,
pid,
reason)));
The purpose of this is to give an LOG message with a variable reason
code. Should I worry about the translatability of something that exists
for DEBUG, and if so, what is the best/approved/recommended way of
making a message both translatable and variable?
Thanks,

Probably not. I don't even think you should use ereport, just elog
--- or if there's a good functional reason to use ereport, use
errmsg_internal so that translators don't see this message.regards, tom lane
