Thanks Petr.
This is my sessionInfo()
R version 2.10.1 (2009-12-14)
i386-pc-mingw32
locale:
[1] LC_COLLATE=Hebrew_Israel.1255 LC_CTYPE=Hebrew_Israel.1255
[3] LC_MONETARY=Hebrew_Israel.1255 LC_NUMERIC=C
[5] LC_TIME=Hebrew_Israel.1255
attached base packages:
[1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base
And for me it is working.
What else can we check ?
(The reason I am insisting, even that it is working for me, is that I know
of R users in Israel who are having a hard time with getting R to work with
Hebrew. So any insights we gain here will be for long term benefit to the
growing R community here)
Best,
Tal
