R help - Mar 2017 - Problem with greek characters in R

Hello,

My computer functions with the version of English windows 10. The problem that I
face is that when I open an R file that includes Greek characters, with the
program RGui, the text that appears does not make sense. The only way the
problem can be solved is by setting Greek as a default language in Windows.
Although I prefer as a default language English.
I am looking forward for your response. 

Thank you in advance
Dimitrios Mousenikas

The standard response is that RStudio is not R, and has its own forum or
discussion areas on stackexchange.com. R has its own mechanisms for dealing with
alternate character sets, so be clear when the problem is in the processing of
such code by R versus the display of input or output files associated with your
use of R. Using R or RGui (that are on topic here) can help you discern where
the "problem" is.

That said, Googling "RStudio character encoding" might lead to help
with your immediate concern.

But the OP didn't mention RStudio, but rather RGui.

R has its own mechanisms for dealing with alternate character sets, so
be clear when the problem is in the processing of such code by R
versus the display of input or output files associated with your use
of R. Using R or RGui (that are on topic here) can help you discern
where the "problem" is.

Perhaps you can offer some advice in this regard, I've never been able
to figure it out. Ironically, that's one of the reasons I prefer to
use RStudio on Windows!

Best,
