Since a while ago, R on my Mac terminal is being started in Japanese: R version 3.5.2 (2018-12-20) -- "Eggshell Igloo"

But I found a "bug" in testthat's is_english (which tests whether the current session is reporting base messages in English) and reported here: https://github.com/r-lib/testthat/issues/879 I say "bug" because as near as I can tell is_english is built assuming the logic laid out in ?gettext, ?locales. So even though my machine appears to have none of the "symptoms" of a non-English locale, nevertheless I get Japanese. My session info: R version 3.5.2 (2018-12-20) Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0 (64-bit) Running under: macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 Matrix products: default BLAS: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.5/Resources/lib/libRblas.0.dylib LAPACK: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.5/Resources/lib/libRlapack.dylib locale: [1] C/UTF-8/C/C/C/C attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] compiler_3.5.2 My Sys.getenv() and "Languages & Region" settings are in the issue link. Where else should I be looking in my R session or terminal to figure out why it's in Japanese?
