OK. ¨Perfectly clear. This written for other listers:
Shortcut is the shortcuts ("alias") everybody use to launch applications (in French: "raccourci"), and for suckers (as I am): one just have to right-click the shortcut used to launch Rgui.exe, select properties ("propriétés" in French) and add in the box target ("cible" in French) LANGUAGE=en to the path. In my case: C:\R\rw2011\bin\Rgui.exe. Thus, it makes C:\R\rw2011\bin\Rgui.exe LANGUAGE=en. Then click OK. It works fantastic!!!! Thanks a lot for this. It makes three weeks I was grumling everytime (often) I started R, and frustrated with the SDI mode...
