I know that the English package is also installed so I guess I need to set some environmental variable for this.Any idea how I am doing that?

Please do (and not send HTML). It is in the manual,
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.html#Internationalization
and specifically
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.html#Localization-of-messages
I would start by trying LANGUAGE=en , e.g.
LANGUAGE=en R
or
env LANGUAGE=en R
depending on your shell.
