I get the same but I think it's expected -- at least with my locale
:lang
Current language:
"LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=C;LC_COLLATE=C;LC_MONETARY=C;LC_MESSAGES=C;LC_PAPER=C;LC_NAME=C;LC_ADDRESS=C;LC_TELEPHONE=C;LC_MEASUREMENT=C;LC_IDENTIFICATION=C"
When I was on Windows, it didn't accept C as a locale but it did accept
en so, since I wanted menus and messages in English and not in the
French or Dutch of my Windows locale, I started my vimrc with
if has("unix")
language messages C
else
language messages en
endif
runtime vimrc_example.vim
etc. Since Vim has no separate ":language numeric" setting, I suppose it
should be set with ":language en" or similar. If you want to keep
messages and/or ctype and/or time in your default locale, you'll need to
save and restore them, for instance:
let save_messages = v:lang
let save_time = v:lc_time
let save_ctype = v:ctype
if has("unix")
lang C
else
lang en
endif
exe "lang mess" save_messages
exe "lang time" save_time
exe "lang cty" save_ctype
Best regards,
Tony.
