It works perfectly:
> Sys.setlocale(category = "LC_TIME", locale="en_GB.UTF-8")
[1] "en_GB.UTF-8"
> x <- seq(from=as.Date("2000-04-01"), length.out=100, by=1)
> y <- rnorm(length(x), 5,2)
> plot(x, y)
> Sys.setlocale(category = "LC_TIME", locale="")
[1] "fr_FR.UTF-8"
Thanks a lot

(I post the solution on the list as I have had some difficulties to find
the good format for locale parameter. It could help others)

When ploting a timeseries, the months are shown with abbreviation in the
current language of the system.
For example,
x <- seq(from=as.Date("2000-04-01"), length.out=100, by=1)
y <- rnorm(length(x), 5,2)
plot(x, y)
Show for me "avi mai jui jul" as I use R with French language
localization.
I see in the Windows FAQ how to completely change the language of R, but
I search rather a way to change it for just the next command (also I run
R in MacOS !).
The solution will be to make myself the axis... except if someone has
the trick to do it more easily.
To generate the axis myself, it is not so simply to get one tick by
month. I try
axTicks(1) but it gives 5 ticks rather than 4
and
> as.Date(axTicks(1), "1970-01-01")
[1] "2000-04-13" "2000-05-03" "2000-05-23" "2000-06-12" "2000-07-02"
Is not what I expected. Plot with date object seems to use a special way
to generate ticks.
Thanks a lot
Marc
