Yes, from your forwarded mail, Bram said he'd use 'cn' for tags naming.

I just took a look at the Vim source code, did some grep and found what
possibly caused this bug: 

vim63/src/options.c: around the line 3161:

------------------------------------------------------------------
#if defined(FEAT_MULTI_LANG) || defined(PROTO)
/*
 * When 'helplang' is still at its default value, set it to "lang".
 * Only the first ___TWO___ characters of "lang" are used.
 */               ^^^^^^^^^
    void
set_helplang_default(lang)
    char_u      *lang;
{
    int         idx;

    if (lang == NULL || STRLEN(lang) < 2)       /* safety check */
        return;
    idx = findoption((char_u *)"hlg");
    if (!(options[idx].flags & P_WAS_SET))
    {
        if (options[idx].flags & P_ALLOCED)
            free_string_option(p_hlg);
        p_hlg = vim_strsave(lang);
        if (p_hlg == NULL)
            p_hlg = empty_option;
        else
            p_hlg[2] = NUL;
        options[idx].flags |= P_ALLOCED;
    }
}
#endif
------------------------------------------------------------------

Easy to apply a dirty patch. But lets wait and see what Bram would say
about this.


Thanks & Regards,
