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.

PLEASE do as we ask!  Knowing the platform would save a lot of guesswork
as here.
