Hi!

I am running PostgreSQL on a German Windows machine. Client programs like
psql and pgAdmin are printing German translation strings everywhere, even
though I told the installer to use English/United States locale. How can I
disable all translations and simply use the English version of all programs?

Regards,

Yes, that works very well for psql, thanks! However, pgAdmin is still in
German. Not even setting LC_ALL to en_US seems to help. Any other trick?

I was looking at that dialog, but still missed that. Thanks again!
