You haven't told us your OS, so it is probably Windows ...

This is an FAQ, specifically
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#I-want-R-in-English_0021

Since you seem to be unfamiliar with FAQs, there is a lot more useful 
information there, and the posting guide asked you to search them 
before posting.  (And certainly before 'hours and hours of internet 
research'.)

If you are not on Windows, see the 'R Installation and Administration 
Manual' section 7.2, or if you use the R.app GUI on Mac OS X see the 
relevant FAQ section 9. But in general R will use the same language as 
your OS, and if you don't want Spanish, simply change the language of 
the OS.
