Yes it is, but the message in the source code has not been changed,
which is very misleading,
as you can see here:
g:\home\cb>psql -U postgres template1
Password:
Welcome to psql 8.0.0rc5, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
.......
Warning: Console codepage (850) differs from windows codepage (1252)
8-bit characters will not work correctly. See PostgreSQL
documentation "Installation on Windows" for details.

If PostgreSQL is intalled with native language support with

characters like Umlaute are displayed wrong in the windows

but no longer in the documentation of version rc3 and rc4,
the following advice can be found:

Perhaps on Windows, PostgreSQL should itself send "cmd.exe /c
chcp 1252"
to the console if needed.

1252 is not valid for all installations. Only for Latin-1 installations.

That said, it should be possible to determine this from the system
locale on installation time and put that in the shortcut. Please
register a feature request on the pgFoundry page for this so it's not
forgotten. It won't be there in time for 8.0, but it shouldn't be too
much work to add it in a followon release.

Good point :-)

Tom, want to do the honours, or do you want a patch? It's the message in
psql that you mentioned wasn't translatable. Location of docs changed.

Yeah, it's on my must-fix list, but there's no point in fixing it until
we decide where it should point to ;-). I'm still waiting for some
enlightenment on whether this is a psql-only issue or whether we need to
move the information someplace else.

It's an issue that affects any console mode programs. It may also affect
things like createdb if you try to create a database with chars > 127,
but I'm not 100% sure on that. I would *guess* that psql is the only one
where people will actually care...
