You should set environment variables in the environment, not from a
program. See rw-FAQ Q2.15 (and you may be able to set them in Eclipse
before it starts R).

I tried with Sys.setenv() in Eclipse environment in the following manner:
Sys.getenv("LANGUAGE")
LANGUAGE

Sys.setenv(LANGUAGE="en")
Sys.getenv("LANGUAGE")
LANGUAGE
"en"
Once I've done this at the beginning of the session, warnings are in English.
When I exit Eclipse and then restart, it is back to German and
LANGUAGE environment variable is back to " ".
I am running R-2.7.1 on a Vista SP1 machine. I have Eclipse 3.4.0 with
StatET 0.6.0
I just tried to put a modified .RProfile file into Eclipse working
directory (I got that by typing getwd() at Eclipse prompt) and it
loads up (because I have fortunes() specified in .RProfile). In
.RProfile I put Sys.setenv(LANGUAGE="en") and it works to the extent
that warning messages are now in English, but at startup I still see
German text, like that:

Welcome to R!

Is there a way to make everything show in English?
Thank you all (especially Prof. Ripley) in advance for your help.

Most internationalized programs (including R) respond to the LANGUAGE
environent variable: have you tried setting it to "en"?
We would need to know your OS to help more (it looks like it might be
Windows or possibly Mac OS: the terms used are not right for either).

Hello,
I am running R in Eclipse, and when I start Eclipse or when I get
error messages, they are in German.
(My computer's regional language settings are German.) Is there a way
to switch to English in Eclipse
without changing my global regional language settings? In basic R GUI
this is possible in RGUI configuration editor.
Anyone can help? Thank you in advance!
Sergey
