importing data error question

Dear jihee,

I've looked into this problem further, using my Mac where it's easier to temporarily change languages and character sets than on Windows, and I discovered the following:

I was able to duplicate your problem with importing Excel files when working in Korean. There's a similar problem with the import SAS b7dat files but not with the other file-import dialogs.

I observed a similar problem when working in Chinese (LANG="zh") but not in simplified Chinese (zh_CN) or Japanese (ja), so the problem isn't simply with non-Latin character sets. There is no problem in English, Spanish (es), or French (fr), and I didn't check the other languages into which the Rcmdr is translated.

I think that the problem originates in the Korean and Chinese translation files and I'll contact the translators to see whether they can fix it.

Thank you for reporting this issue.

John
