This year we have done a refresh of the translations mid-cycle: all the updates are now in R-patched for release in R 2.15.2 on the 26th. This includes several of the recommended packages. If you use R set to a language other than English, please try R-patched (binaries are available for Windows at http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rpatched.html and OS X at http://r.research.att.com/R-2.15-branch-leopard.pkg) and report any problems with translations to the translation team (http://developer.r-project.org/TranslationTeams.html) or if they are serious (e.g. R will not even start in that language) to R-core.
