title: PostgreSQL Locale Language
body: <p>I'm running Debian 3.2 w/ PostgreSQL 9.2 installed. A co-worker of mine initialized the database cluster with japanese. So now, every single database created with <code>createdb</code>, no matter who the user is, is now instantiated with japanese as it's language.  </p>
  
  <p>I cannot find a way to reset the language back to english w/o having to run <code>initdb</code> again on a new cluster.  I really don't want to do this as there is a lot of data that can't afford to go down.</p>
  
  <p>From what I've read, the database cluster is set with japanese when the command with these flags are called <code>initdb -D /place/for/data --locale=ja_JP</code>. However when I create the same cluster and then use <code>createdb</code> to create a new database, the language of the error messages are in English.  In my co-workers cluster, the error messages from this scenario would produce japanese error messages.</p>
  
  <p>Can someone help me understand how the locales work in PostgreSQL 9.2? And what would be the way to change the cluster back into English?</p>
