*Query or Set Aspects of the Locale*
I have an issue with setting LOCALE in installation (new installation on
new computer but have installed and used R before).
I am based in Switzerland but work in English (Windows in English), hence
want English as default.
Console contains following message:
# During startup - Warning message:
# Setting LC_CTYPE= failed
-------------------------------------------------
Solutions I tried found on “help” and in R manual as follows….
# Sys.getlocale(category = “LC_ALL”)
1]
"LC_COLLATE=English_Switzerland.65001;LC_CTYPE=C;LC_MONETARY=English_Switzerland.65001;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=English_Switzerland.65001"
# Sys.setlocale(category=”LC_ALL”, locale = “ “)
or
# Sys.setlocale(category=”LC_ALL”, local=”Switzerland.65001”)
Output
# OS reports request to set locale to "Switzerland.65001" cannot be honoured
Tried various commands specific for 'LC_CTYPE' (as this is where
installation failed) for language string such as
# Sys.setlocale("LC_CTYPE","en-GB")
Output:
In Sys.setlocale("LC_CTYPE", "en-GB") :
OS reports request to set locale to "en-GB" cannot be honoured
Would anyone have any further suggestions for correct command.
With thanks
