The GUI defaults on japanese in my environment.

Le Tue, Jun 06, 2006 at 10:36:09PM +0200, Simon Urbanek a ?crit :

if you wish to
use US-english locale, you can force the GUI to do so by writing in
the Terminal:

defaults write org.R-project.R force.LANG en_US.UTF-8

The only requirement is that the locale must use UTF-8, otherwise
many things will break. In addition to that, it is always possible to
use the corresponding LC_xx environment variables if finely-grained
control over the locale is desired.

Thank you very much for your detailed answer. May I suggest to  
integrate
it in the FAQ (I googled hard before asking for help on this list...).

I can propose a patch if I am given the source file of the FAQ...
