[R] Change R localization

[Michael Kubovy]

Dear R-helpers,

A student in my Department reports that his R is in Japanese:

"I lived in Japan and have a US-purchased mac with the Japanese input/ 
reader enabled, which must be where the Japanese came from. When I  
uninstalled R and reinstalled it last time (I think I completely  
uninstalled it, but some folders may have survived?), I installed with  
the Japanese option turned off."

sessionInfo();localeToCharset()

R version 2.5.1 (2007-06-27)
powerpc-apple-darwin8.9.1

locale:
ja_JP.UTF-8/ja_JP.UTF-8/ja_JP.UTF-8/C/ja_JP.UTF-8/ja_JP.UTF-8

attached base packages:
[1] "stats"     "graphics"  "grDevices" "utils"     "datasets"   
"methods"
[7] "base"

other attached packages:
  lattice   faraway   reshape       car
"0.15-11"   "1.0.2"   "0.8.0"   "1.2-7"
[1] "UTF-8"  "EUC-JP"

What should he do to get to locale C?

I believe that he isn't subscribed to this list, so please include a  
cc to him.

Thanks,
