'encoding' set to UTF-8 means the contents of _files being edited_ are
represented internally as UTF-8. IIUC, the menu locale is defined by
":language messages" at the time the menu script is sourced: for
instance, to make sure menus are in English, include
if has('unix')
lang mess C
else
lang mess en
endif
before you issue ":filetype plugin on" (either explicitly, or implicitly
by sourcing the vimrc_example.vim).
I remember a problem some time ago with some locales, where the menus
always came out wrong in various ways depending of the sequence of
":language messages zh_CN.GB18030", ":filetype plugin on" and ":set
enc=utf-8". I think the problem was solved but I'm not 100% sure -- you
might want to check http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.1/README
Best regards,
Tony.
