Dear jihee, I've looked into this problem further, using my Mac where it's easier to temporarily change languages and character sets than on Windows, and I discovered the following:
I was able to duplicate your problem with importing Excel files when working in Korean. There's a similar problem with the import SAS b7dat files but not with the other file-import dialogs. I observed a similar problem when working in Chinese (LANG="zh") but not in simplified Chinese (zh_CN) or Japanese (ja), so the problem isn't simply with non-Latin character sets. There is no problem in English, Spanish (es), or French (fr), and I didn't check the other languages into which the Rcmdr is translated. I think that the problem originates in the Korean and Chinese translation files and I'll contact the translators to see whether they can fix it. Thank you for reporting this issue.
