[R] Fwd: Re: East Asian language

[Pingping Zheng]

Dear all,

I think what Nan Lin wanted is "How to change the language used in R
console by re-setting something within R?"

For a non-english user, sometime we prefer to set the system default
language to a native one and use english in individual programs when
we think necessary.

a) setting the envrionment variable LANGUAGE=en will make an impact
     on the whole system, which has its side effects.
b) changing language setup through control panel is telling people to throw
     away their native windows system, let's all use English system.

Any better idea?
