Hi there, I've installed R somewhen in German but I'd like to have it in English. The installation of a new version does not change the language setting though I think I've chosen "English" in the installation process (this choice was available, right?). Can anybody give me a hint? (Error-Messages in German are not easy to get a solution for...) Antje
Hei, in the FAQ on R for Windows it says:> 3.4 I selected English for installation but R runs in Chinese. > > Precisely, you selected English for installation! The language of the installer has nothing to do with the language used to run R: this is completely standard Windows practice (and necessary as different users of the computer may use different languages). > > The language R uses for menus and messages is determined by the locale: please read the appropriate manual (the R Installation and Administration Manual) for the details. You can ensure that R uses English messages by appending LANGUAGE=en to the shortcut you use to start R, or setting it in the Rconsole file.That should apply to your problem, too...

Perhaps you are on Windows: the answer is in the rw-FAQ http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#I-selected-English-for-installation-but-R-runs-in-Chinese If you have another platform either set LANGUAGE=en or (for MacOS X) ask on the appropriate list.

Knowing the platform would save a lot of guesswork as here. -- Brian D.
