[R] changing langage
Hi all, I've got a small, practical question, which untill now I couldn't solve (otherwhise I wouldn't mail it, right?) First of all, I'm talking about R 2.0.1 on a winxp system (using the default graphical interface being 'Rgui'). When I make plots, using dates on the x-axis, it puts the labels in Dutch, which is nice (since it's my mother tongue) unless I want them in English... Is there a way to change this behaviour? (Can I change the labels etc to English?) tnx, Kurt Sys __ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html

This type of stuff works on Linux at least: Sys.setlocale(LC_ALL,da_DK) # or en_GB, or plot(date,) -- O__ Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.

Re: [R] changing langage
It uses the language set by LC_TIME: see ?Sys.setlocale and ?format.Date which references it.
