Not so far Microsoft released Russian version of Visual Studio.
All compiler messages are in russian, and shows as spaces in TheIDE console window.

ide/Console.cpp:
int Console::Flush():

...
>   slot.process->Read(s);
>   if(!IsNull(s)) {
>     done_output = true;
+#ifdef PLATFORM_WIN32
+     s = FromSystemCharset(s);
+#endif
...

This fix can resolve problem, but side effects can appear.
And other localized tools (non-Microsoft, CP866-based) may require FromOEMCharset() function instead.
