Please see the rw-FAQ.
And your claims about 2.10.0 are simply not true. There only ever has
been an option to choose the language of the installer: see the
rw-FAQ.

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.
You can set environment variables globally, which it seems is what you
want. Then any product using GNU gettext will give your messages in
English. (Windows may still give your Japanese messages.)
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.
