Dear R-help mailing list,

I have a drawing problem with R:

I need to draw an horizontal axis with date, here is the test code:

> ticks <- c("2004-01-22","2005-01-22","2006-01-22","2007-01-
 22","2008-01-22","2009-01-22","2010-01-22","2011-01-22","2012-01-22")
> ats <- ticks[seq(1,length(ticks))]
> lbl <- strftime(ats,"%b %y")
> lbl
> [1] "一月 04" "一月 05" "一月 06" "一月 07" "一月 08" "一月 09" "一月 10" "一月 11" "一月
12"

I have changed the R environment to English and why was "lbl" shown to be
Chinese instead of English?

Hopefully this can be resolved. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Derrick
