Hi,
there´s something that really bothers me about R and after hours and hours of
internet research, I´m still stuck with the same problem: I installed R and it
is in Spanish, as the system on my work. I would really like it in English and
there seems to be no way to change that!?! I´m doing an abroad internship, so
my Spanish is far from perfect and my tutorial is in English.
Is there any way that I´m not aware of to change the language environment of R?
Yes, set the environment variable LANGUAGE to what you want. This is
described in detail in the R Installation and Administration manual.
You can do this on the R command line, e.g. I normally get R in English,
but can switch to Spanish by starting it as
Rgui LANGUAGE=es
The two letter language abbreviations are listed in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639-1 and a document it links to.

Thanks a lot!
