Both are relevant. To get Vim messages and menus in English regardless
of the OS language setting, just add the following near the top of your
vimrc:
if has('unix')
language messages C
else
language messages en
endif
None of the following (which are normally not all present) should
precede it:
source $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim
runtime vimrc_example.vim
filetype on
filetype plugin on
filetype indent on
filetype plugin indent on
syntax enable
syntax on
Best regards,
Tony.
