It can be done without setting locales using chron:
library(chron)
as.Date(chron("1970-Jan-01", format = "Year-Month-Day"))
[1] "1970-01-01"

Dear r-helpers,
This is a little bit more of a Windows problem than
an R problem, but ...
any idea how to query the *available* locales from
within R (or otherwise) on a Windows system? Teaching
in a Spanish-language setting and would like to do
something like
Sys.setlocale("LC_TIME","en_US")
Ben,
try
Sys.setlocale("LC_TIME", "en")
or
Sys.setlocale("LC_TIME", "English_United States.1252")
Best,
Uwe
(for example so that we can convert dates like
"1970-jan-01" with as.Date(x,"%Y-%b-%d")
but keep getting reports that this is not honored
by the OS. Does anyone have useful pointers?
thanks
