Dear R-helpers, First of all I have nothing against the French language! But now my problem, yesterday I installed R 2.1.1 and I had to experience that my RGui is speaking French.

By the way the searchable archives via: http://www.r-project.org/, Mailing Lists, R-help, web-interface, searchable achieves, did not work: http://maths.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/ Also I was seeking in the FAQ's http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html and http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/R/rw-FAQ.html and could not find the solution. I'm sure that lots of people have queried already and that the solution is already written down somewhere. However I cant find it. Could somebody give me a hint?
For example, read the most recent R Newsletter on localization of R. As one solution, set the environment variable LANGUAGE=en Uwe Ligges

Make sure that the environment variable LANGUAGE is set to "en". I think the consensus is that putting it into HOME/.Renviron is the most practical way.

Well, did you try the `R Installation and Administration Manual'? That does sound appropriate and it is covered there.

The rw-FAQ recommends a different way, though.
This is a new topic in the next release of the rw-FAQ (to go with the next
release of R) since it has recently been fairly frequently asked. To wit
I selected English for Installation but R runs in Chinese!
Precisely, you selected English @strong{for installation}! The language
of the installer has nothing to do with the language used to run R: this
is completely standard Windows practice (and necessary as different
users of the computer may use different languages).
The language R uses for menus and messages is determined by the
@emph{locale}: please read the appropriate manual (the @emph{R
Installation and Administration Manual}) for the details. You can
ensure that R uses English messages by appending @code{LANGUAGE=en} to
the shortcut you use to start R.
