Which OS is this? PLEASE do read the posting guide.
This *is* documented in the `R Installation and Adminstration' Manual,
section `Internationalization'.
If your OS is set to German, then why don't you expect R to follow?
If you don't want German menus, do you want German months (as has happened
for many versions).
For Windows or Linux, to just change the language of messages, set
environment variable LANGUAGE=en. To set all aspects, set LC_ALL=en. I
don't know about MacOS X menus.
