Russian language localization and support in Vim *russian* *Russian*
1. Introduction |russian-intro|
2. Russian keymaps |russian-keymap|
3. Localization |russian-l18n|
4. Known issues |russian-issues|
===============================================================================
1. Introduction *russian-intro*
Russian language is supported perfectly well in Vim. You can type and view
Russian text just as any other, without the need to tweak the settings.
===============================================================================
2. Russian keymaps *russian-keymap*
To switch between languages you can use your system native keyboard switcher,
or use one of the Russian keymaps, included in the Vim distribution. For
example,
>
:set keymap=russian-jcukenwin
<
In the latter case, you can switch between languages even if you do not have
system Russian keyboard or independently from a system-wide keyboard settings.
See 'keymap'. You can also map a key to switch between keyboards, if you
choose the latter option. See |:map|.
For your convenience, to avoid switching between keyboards, when you need to
enter Normal mode command, you can also set 'langmap' option:
>
:set langmap=ФИСВУАПРШОЛДЬТЩЗЙКЫЕГМЦЧНЯ;ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ,
фисвуапршолдьтщзйкыегмцчня;abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
This is in utf-8, you cannot read this if your 'encoding' is not utf-8.
You have to type this command in one line, it is wrapped for the sake of
readability.
===============================================================================
3. Localization *russian-l18n*
If you wish to use messages, help files, menus and other items translated to
Russian, you will need to install the RuVim Language Pack, available in
different codepages from
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/ruvim/
Make sure that your Vim is at least 6.2.506 and use ruvim 0.5 or later for
automatic installs. Vim also needs to be compiled with |+gettext| feature for
user interface items translations to work.
After downloading an archive from RuVim project, unpack it into your
$VIMRUNTIME directory. We recommend using UTF-8 archive.
In order to use the Russian documentation, make sure you have set the
'helplang' option to "ru".
===============================================================================
4. Known issues *russian-issues*
-- If you are using Russian message translations in Win32 console, then
you may see the output produced by "vim --help", "vim --version" commands
and Win32 console window title appearing in a wrong codepage. This problem
is related to a bug in GNU gettext library and may be fixed in the future
releases of gettext.
