Hello. I want to write my notes in Sweave in my own language (spanish). But my language has accents and when I run Sweave in R to translate my Snw file into the tex file the accents are translated into unrecognizable characters. For example, the word "cami?n" (truck) is translated into "cami??n" Somebody knows how can I do it? One solution I don't like is using a perl program to substitute my accented letters into "normal" accents in LaTeX in my Snw file before running Sweave. That is: ? -> \'a ? -> \'e ... The problem is when I run the spelling program, it doesn't work because the spelling doesn't recognize the words with "normal" accents. There is a solution but it is tedious: 1) substitute the accented letters letter into "normal" accents in LaTeX. 2) run Sweave and create the tex file. 3) subtitute the "normal" accents into the accented letters in the tex file. My question is: Is there another way to do it? Arnau. ------------------------------------------------------------ Arnau Mir Torres Edifici A. Turmeda Campus UIB Ctra.

(If not those two, then a similar sort of problem.) The handling of encodings is tricky, because it depends on your system settings (what sort of locale you are running in). The l10n_info() and sessionInfo() functions may be helpful in diagnosing the problem.

1) Please send reproducible code. In this case possibly with a link to the
Snw file.
2) Try setting the charset in LaTeX: \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
