I did use LANGUAGE too, didn't work as well.
Creating a ~/.Rprofile file with LANGUAGE="EN" had no effect (weird..).
When I edited /etc/R/Renviron.site to include LANGUAGE="EN", it worked. 
Thanks for the hints!

I'm still fighting to find out how to upgrade stuff on Ubuntu. After a 
repository update the newest available version was still 2.10.1.
I'll figure it out, sooner or later :)
