R help - May 2005 - Menu Language

Hello,
In my windows xp system the regional settings are set to German. However, I
still would like to use the English version of R with English menu items and
texts. RWinEdt tells me this is necessary in order to use the mdi framework.
How can this be achieved with the 2.1 version. In 2.0.1 this wasn't a
problem.

Yes, because R-2.0.1 has not had any translations.
You can set an envrionment variable  LANGUAGE=en  for exmaple...
See the new documentation and the most recent R Newsletter which has 
some nice articles on languages and internationalization by Brian Ripley.
