Did you try the _full_ three-part locale, language_COUNTRY.encoding,
where (IIUC) under Windows "encoding" is a numeric codepage, 10646 for
Unicode? For German, my guess was

lang mess German_Germany.10646

where 10646 (from ISO/IEC 10646) is the Windows codepage for Unicode.
Did you try it? Did you try varying the order of

:language messages ...
:set enc=...
:filetype ...
:syntax on

? (The latter two set up the menus, which are also influenced by the
"messages" language.)

N.B. When I was on Windows some years ago, my system locale (as set by
the OS) was French_Belgium.1252 — hence my suggestion above.

Best regards,
Tony.
