+Non-English Locales
+-------------------
+
+Many non-english locales are not supported due to the localization of the severity field
+in messages and errors sent to the client. Internally, py-postgresql uses this to allow
+client side filtering of messages and to identify FATAL connection errors that allow the
+client to recognize that it should be expecting the connection to terminate.
