Dear list, I just recently installed R-2.13.0 on my Windows7. I used to run R-2.10.0. First of all, I used to be able to install R in English (in R-2.10.0) during the installation procedure. My PC is in a Japanese environment but I want R to be in English because I won't be able to interpret any errors if they are in Japanese (I am Japanese so I can read them but I won't be able to understand them). However, it seems that under R-2.13.0, the option to install in English simply does not exist and I have to associate LANGUAGE=en in the properties of all short cuts to R.
The choice for a language in the installer was always just for the installer itself, not for R. This has not changed.
Of course you can set a glöobal environment variable LANGUAGE=en, which would be used by any R started on your machine (as well as for any other software that reads such a variable)

This leads to my second problem. I usually open a saved work space by double clicking on a .RData file. I had no problems in R-2.10.0 but in R-2.13.0, even though I associated R-2.13.0 with RData files during installation, I had problems opening them by double-clicking (it always came up with a RTerm window) but I found a "R for Windows GUI front-end" that I can associate my RData with which enabled me to open RData in the R GUI. However, this R window is in Japanese. So my question is: is there a way to set R itself in English (including this R for Windows GUI front-end) and not just the pathways from short cuts? Any suggestions would be most appreciated. many thanks in advance. Manabu
