Use "LANGUAGE" rather than "LANG" as the environment variable.
Also, set it outside your R session, e.g. in your .Renviron file. You are supposed to be able to change this during an R session, but if you rely on OS facilities (as you probably do on Linux) rather than the gettext in the R sources, we have seen instances of the OS breaking this.
I did use LANGUAGE too, didn't work as well. Creating a ~/.Rprofile file with LANGUAGE="EN" had no effect (weird..).
That's not weird: you just created an R variable named LANGUAGE, not an environment variable. Duncan Murdoch
When I edited /etc/R/Renviron.site to include LANGUAGE="EN", it worked. Thanks for the hints!

R version 2.10.1 (2009-12-14)
and time to upgrade R
I'm still fighting to find out how to upgrade stuff on Ubuntu. After a repository update the newest available version was still 2.10.1. I'll figure it out, sooner or later :)
