We've seen a few reports on problems in R 2.7.[01] on Windows in Korean.
It does work on my laptop, but I've managed to reproduce this on a WinXP
desktop: it seems the problem lies in the encoding of the translations of
the menus, and might be a problem in the updated iconv used.
Workarounds:
1) Add LANGUAGE=en to the shortcut used to start RGui: then all messages
will be in English.
2) Delete <RHOME>/share/locale/ko/LC_MESSAGES/RGui.mo . This means the
menus will not be traslated, but other messages will be. This is done in
R-patched, and so will be the state in R 2.7.2.
The Korean translations are rather out of date, and the translator's email
address no longer works. If the community of Korean R users want to pick
up on this, please look at developer.r-project.org for how to submit
translations.
