The following patch is not the most elegant, but it restores the Authors when
"LC_CTYPE" is set to either "Chinese" or "Arabic":
> Sys.setlocale("LC_CTYPE", "Chinese")
[1] "Chinese (Simplified)_China.936"
> citation("readr")
To cite package ‘readr’ in publications use:
(2016). readr: Read Tabular Data. R package version 1.0.0.

Hi Duncan,
I'm guessing I'll be able to look at this over the weekend/next week (probably
closer to next week). It is on my list of things to do and I've just had a few
other prior commitments that I have to finish first.
Sorry for the delay. I'll chime in with a status update next week.
Nathan
