Many thanks! I can see the progress :) But please forgive my incompetence. I'm not so familiar with Windows. If I start e.g. RGUI by using: Rgui.exe LC_CTYPE=ja I can type Japanese, Russian, and German. strsplit works perfectly! ;) But if I type for instance a German umlaut 'ΓΌ' it comes out as 'u'. OK, it is due to the fact I didn't set up Rgui in UTF-8 mode. But how can I do this? My data are written in many different languages, and I want to do some statistics. R version 2.7.0 RC (2008-04-19 r45391) i386-pc-mingw32 locales: all to German_Germany.1252 LC_CTYPE=Japanese_Japan.932 ### There are some minor issues. I set Rgui's font to "Arial Unicode". This works but I have some troubles to place my cursor, caused by the issue that Arial Unicode is not a monospaced font. If I start up Rgui in German, I can see the localized menu items, but for each non-ASCII character I see cryptic things. It seems to me that the localized strings are written in UTF-8, and Rgui expects ANSI characters. ### Nevertheless, thanks a lot! --Hans ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
