Vim supports installing help for multiple languages starting with version 6.2
and patch 299. The translations are available as separate packages.
Message translations are included with the normal distributions. Look for the "lang" archives on the download page
You can install the help files by unpacking the archive in the right place. To use it for all users unpack in $VIMRUNTIME/doc. For a personal installation unpack in your own vim directory. On Unix that is ~/.vim.
