I am a big fan of vim and gvim. But whenever I write localization code in PHP and have to translate some strings (primarily in Russian), I have to open Notepad to translate all the entries. That kinda sucks, but so far I have not found out how to make gvim work in utf8 mode. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Not sure, but will give it a try.

A:
put these into your .vimrc:
set encoding=utf-8
set fileencodings=ucs-bom,utf-8
you should now be able to play with the UTF8 files.

I used these settings. But then ALT key changed its behavior. Now pressing ALT key with some letter key inserts an accented character. Is there a way to disable this?
