Yes, and by design as --vanilla means ignore my ~/.R* files.
So you must change your language in another place, for example in the
shell
in which you are calling R CMD BATCH. You could just create a 'worker
script' that sets those variables and then calls R CMD BATCH.
And as the R-admin manual says and I said, you set the environment
variable LANGUAGE to en: this overrides any other settings for the
language. So in any shell
env LANGUAGE=en R CMD BATCH --vanilla --slave foo.R foo.Rout.save
or in bash
LANGUAGE=en R CMD BATCH --vanilla --slave foo.R foo.Rout.save
How to set environment variables is covered in the rw-FAQ, but Linux
users are expected to know how to use them!
