Hm, I am fluent in English, but it is not my mother language; and I've
never had much success trying to use an IM with Vim (when I want to type
hanzi and I don't have something that I can copy-paste, I try to
determine the Kangxi radical+strokes value and/or the Mandarin /
JapaneseOn / JapaneseKun reading, then I search that in a downloaded
version of the Unihan database to get the Unicode number). So I may try
to correct the language, but it won't be finished tomorrow and I can't
guarantee that I'll understand everything the right way.

According to vim.org, the only fully translated help is the French
version. It's a pity, because Vim's first-quality help is an important
part of what makes it such a good product.

Yeah, I discussed some ideas with VimIM's author when he was writing it,
but I only helped something that was already well on the way, all the
merit is his. You'll even find my name under ":help credits", for the
help I give here; though I'm not the only one. I wonder why "Dr. Chip"
(Charles E. Campbell Jr., Ph.D.) who not only helps on the lists but
also contributed so many essential scripts, isn't listed: just run

:0verbose vimgrep /\<Campbell\>/g $VIMRUNTIME/**/*.vim

and see what you get.
