Re: [R] Change the language of the labels in a graph
LANGUAGE controls the language of message translations: see the R-admin manual, which incidentally also points out you should not expect to change that whilst R is running. Second, your input dates are in English so you need English as the language for your as.Date command. The following works for me x <- as.Date(c("1jan1960", "2jan1960", "31mar1960", "30jul1960"), "%d%b%Y") Sys.setlocale("LC_TIME", "fr_CA") plot(x, 1:4) but you haven't told us your OS and the locale name will be OS-dependent (and so may the abbreviations).

Re: [R] Change the language of the labels in a graph
This works for me on my Windows XP system: Sys.putenv("LANGUAGE"="FR"); Sys.setlocale("LC_ALL","FR") On 4/24/06, Lapointe, Pierre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > How do you change the language of the labels in a graph.

[R] Change the language of the labels in a graph
Hello, How do you change the language of the labels in a graph. In this example, I want to get French labels by changing Sys.putenv. I should get "Mai" instead of "May". Sys.putenv(LANGUAGE="fr") x <- as.Date(c("1jan1960", "2jan1960", "31mar1960", "30jul1960"), "%d%b%Y") y <-1:4 plot(x,y) Regards, Pierre Lapointe ** AVIS DE NON-RESPONSABILITE: Ce document transmis par courrie...{{dropped}} __ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
