All,

I just had a user come on IRC asking how to switch the the psql and server
message language to their language, pt_BR. After 15 minutes of searching,
I was unable to find this in our main docs anywhere, except for the
lc_messages runtime.conf entry (which doesn't work for the client).

Do we have a doc todo list somewhere?

This doesn't seem to be to be a docs bug.  You found the right setting
--- the question is why didn't it work?

The chapter "Localization" contains the required information. I think
that is prominently named. What improvements do you suggest?
