This is from several helps and how-tos:
First, make same safe-guarding:
> sudo cp /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml
/usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml_backup
Then, open freedeskop.org.xml to edit mime:
> sudo gedit /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml
Now, you should find the end of one mime-specification and the beginning
of next. I did mine just after Python Python mime-specification. Last
two lines are:
<glob pattern="*.py"/>
</mime-type>
And the next mime-type begins with:
<mime-type type=SOMETHING BLAH>
So, between the </mime-type> and <mime-type type=SOMETHING BLAH> insert
this:
<mime-type type="text/x-R">
<sub-class-of type="text/plain"/>

<comment xml:lang="uk">??? R</comment>
<comment xml:lang="zh_CN">R ??</comment>
<glob pattern="*.R"/>
<glob pattern="*.r"/>
</mime-type>
Finally, update mime:
> sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime/
That's it!
Best,
