Under this setting, texts on the gvim popup alert, messages displayed on the bottom line and current file name display are all garbled being unreadable. If enc is unset or set to cp932, which is a Windows derivative of Shift-JIS, those texts are normally displayed but then utf8 text from file is unreadable.

Try (untested) adding either

:language messages Japanese_Japan.932
or
:language messages Japanese_Japan.10646

It probably also makes a difference whether you put it in your vimrc
before or after setting 'encoding' to UTF-8: you will have to
experiment, as I cannot test it myself (I don't have a Windows box
anymore). In any case it should be before any of the following (only one
of which is usually present):

:filetype plugin on
:filetype plugin indent on
:runtime vimrc_example.vim
:source $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim

Another possibility is to have all messages and popups come out in
English, by using

:language messages English_United States.1252
or maybe
:language messages English_United\ States.1252

(if one of them doesn't work, try the other).

Best regards,
Tony.
