Nakama's patches can also handle other languages than Japanese. He kindly built Korean and Russian version of R (1.7.1) as rpm binaries (although he can understand neither Korean nor Russian).
It is interesting, but with Russian R works fine as is (can say nothing about Korean and Japanese). Using russian words as names for objects and functions as well as text annotations in graphic devices does not cause any troubles. I use R-1.7.0 under Linux with koi8-r Russian system locale installed.
