[R] R 2.7.[01] on Windows in Korean

[Prof Brian Ripley]

We've seen a few reports on problems in R 2.7.[01] on Windows in Korean. 
It does work on my laptop, but I've managed to reproduce this on a WinXP 
desktop: it seems the problem lies in the encoding of the translations of 
the menus, and might be a problem in the updated iconv used.

Workarounds:

1) Add LANGUAGE=en to the shortcut used to start RGui: then all messages 
will be in English.

2) Delete <RHOME>/share/locale/ko/LC_MESSAGES/RGui.mo .  This means the 
menus will not be traslated, but other messages will be.  This is done in 
R-patched, and so will be the state in R 2.7.2.

The Korean translations are rather out of date, and the translator's email 
address no longer works.  If the community of Korean R users want to pick 
up on this, please look at developer.r-project.org for how to submit 
translations.
