    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.
