Hi,
German message output is broken when encoding=UTF-8.
Maybe calls to convert messages to the current encoding (see :help iconv) are
missing in the code?
To reproduce here are 2 examples among many others:
1. example:
- open new gvim
- :set enc=UTF-8
- :set enc=lalala ... something invalid
I get:
E474: Ung<fc>ltiges Argument: enc=lalala
I expect:
E474: Ungültiges Argument: enc=lalala
2. example:
- open new gvim
- :set enc=UTF-8
- :set bomb
- i<Enter><Esc> ... enter a newline to make the buffer not empty
- g<C-G> ... g CONTROL-G
I get:
Sp 1 von 0; Zeile 2 von 2; Wort 0 von 0; Byte 4 von 4(+3 f<fc>r BOM)
I expect:
Sp 1 von 0; Zeile 2 von 2; Wort 0 von 0; Byte 4 von 4(+3 für BOM)
I use:

When enc is latin1, all messages display fine.
Thanks& regards,

If you were running under Linux I would suggest
lang mess de_DE.UTF-8
but beware that the placement of this command before or after not only
":set enc=utf-8" but also ":filetype [plugin] [indent] on" and ":syntax
on" (and the relative placement of these) makes a difference.
Under Windows I'm less sure; maybe something like
lang mess German_Germany.10646
Same caveats as above about command ordering.
Hi!
Sorry, your hint didn't change anything, but I found, that it's working
for Spanish:
:set enc=utf-8
:lang mess es
Este es el cambio más nuevo
=> WORKS FINE! "á" (Hex 00e1) is printed out fine.
:lang mess fr
D<e9>j<e0> <e0> la modification la plus r<e9>cente
:lang mess de
Bereits bei der j<fc>ngsten<c4>nderung
=> ENCODING PROBLEMS!
But when I set to :enc=latin1, then it's VICE VERSA:
German and French working, but Spanish not:
:set enc=latin1
:lang mess es
Este es el cambio más nuevo
=> Looks like UTF-8 here.
Are the messages for German and French coded in latin1,
and for Spanish in UTF-8?
I agree, there needs to be some translation from the encoding of the message
to the encoding currently in use.
But how?
Is it something that I can configure, or is it a vim coding problem?
I found out that in Cygwin's vim and Cygwin's gvim the German messages display
fine for both settings, enc=utf-8 and enc=latin1 (without that I did anything).
Thanks& Regards,
Paul
Did you try the _full_ three-part locale, language_COUNTRY.encoding,
where (IIUC) under Windows "encoding" is a numeric codepage, 10646 for
Unicode? For German, my guess was
lang mess German_Germany.10646
where 10646 (from ISO/IEC 10646) is the Windows codepage for Unicode.
Did you try it? Did you try varying the order of
:language messages ...
:set enc=...
:filetype ...
:syntax on
? (The latter two set up the menus, which are also influenced by the
"messages" language.)
N.B. When I was on Windows some years ago, my system locale (as set by
the OS) was French_Belgium.1252 — hence my suggestion above.
Hi Tony,
yes I checked the full locale "lang mess German_Germany.10646" and I checked it
again, but sorry, no effect.
The system seems to understand "German_Germany.10646" (because when I enter
nonsense
it says so), but when I afterwards query the language with "lang mess" it just
outputs "de" (see below).
maybe try the same for :lang ctype
I'm not sure
I also played around with different combinations of filetypes and syntax
commands,
but no effect.
First enc, then mess: see my last mail. Other orders: see below.
Full transcript of my session follows.
There I use :later to produce an error message with German umlaut characters in
it.
# initial state: latin1, working
:set enc?

Just :syntax on by itself should not give an error (and neither should
:set ft=dos BTW). See :help :syntax-on
When I do :syntax with no arguments in an empty buffer, I get
No syntax items defined for this buffer
which is not an error. You could also do
:filetype
:let syntax_on
(both of them with no additional arguments) to see if syntax
highlighting is currently on (the first command too because if filetype
detection is off, Vim won't set 'syntax' on newly opened files)

Not :set filetype, just :filetype, as in one of the following:
:filetype on
:filetype plugin on
:filetype plugin indent on
:filetype indent on
:set filetype?
filetype=
:set filetype=dos
E749: Leerer Puffer

I see. Well, I can't help you then, unless you hit a bug which was fixed
between your version (7.3.046) and the latest one (7.3.372).
You can get a recent (and regularly updated) version of Vim for Windows
from http://sourceforge.net/projects/cream/files/Vim/ — this is what
this list's regulars mean when they talk of "Vim without Cream". It is
compiled from the official sources, but not by Bram himself, and
possibly by means of a different C/C++ compiler; it ought to work just
as well as Bram's executable on any Windows system (and maybe better
since bugfixes are incorporated more often).
Best regards,
Tony.
