I gather this is on Windows.
Windows has its own notion of locale names, which look like this:
> lc_collate | German_Germany.1252
rather than the "de_DE" type of convention that's used by every other
platform on the planet. There is not yet support in initdb for
pre-populating pg_collation with Windows-style entries, so you will
have to create your own entries. Presumably this would work for you,
for instance:
CREATE COLLATION german (locale='German_Germany.1252');
I don't know how to find out exactly what locale names are recognized by
Windows, so can't help you much further than that.
