How to use internationalization of R on Linux?

Hi,

I am working on internationalization of R on linux. I have xml file which
has data in Chinese language.  I need to read it and plot it.  How can i do
it using internationalization on linux?

By following the R manuals.  If you use a UTF-8 locale there is normally 
no problem in reading.   Plotting depends on the device (unstated here) 
: see the help for pdf() for example.

Note that there are *two* written 'Chinese language': you may need to 
know which,

Regards

The burden of the reproducible example is on the poster, not one people
who reply ! ;-)

More seriously, you should really tell us what code you are using to
read the file. I know there can be differences according to whether you
set internal=TRUE or not when calling xmlTreeParse(), because when
internal=FALSE readLines() is used to read the contents of the file. You
should also try passing encoding="UTF-8" if your file does not specify
it.
