Can't change language in vim 7.3.35

I use (g)vim from default Ubuntu repo. Before updating to 7.3 everything was working. After updating to 7.3 I just can't change vim's language. First I checked if the locale I want to set is available on my system.

~ $ locale -a | grep en_US
en_US.utf8

Now in vim I typed many variations of language command like:

:language en_US.utf8
:lan mes en_US.utf8

but it didn't worked and I still have vim in the default language of my system. And yes, I have language en_US.utf8 in my vimrc. Any suggestions?

Just rename "lang" dir in vim program directory to "lang.backup" and everything will be back in english language.
