Hello,
I would like to change my R language from German to French or English.
On Windows, we presume.
I have read messages in the archives and also R Installation and
Administration paragraph 7.2 but I did not get it all.
I have to set LANGUAGE=en (what would it be for French, "fr" ?), but I don't
know where.
Well, the rw-FAQ does tell you where:
1. On the command line as name=value pairs. For example in the
shortcut to `Rgui' you could have
"path_to_R\bin\Rgui.exe" HOME=p:/ R_LIBS=p:/myRlib
so in your shortcut use LANGUAGE=fr . (That's the ISO 639 abbreviation
for French, and the manual does tell you that is what to use! Google very
rapidly produces http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639-1 as a list.)
That's the best place as it sets the language only for R.
I am under Windows XP. FAQ 2.15 tells me : "under Windows 2000/XP/2003 you
can use `System' in the control panel or the properties of `My Computer'
(under the `Advanced' tab)". Is that right ? I have problem finding all
this, partly because my Windows is in German.
I give you the German names I have found : Systemsteuerung --> System -->
Umgebungsvariablen
Should I click on "Neu" ("Neu Benutzervariable") and then enter "LANGUAGE"
as "Name" and "en" as "Wert" ?
Maybe I am completely wrong.
Thank you very much
