[R-meta] foreign characters in R

[Philippe Tadger]

Dear Teresa,

Usually, this type of problem are solved when you use the right encoding 
for your language (Turkish is UTF-8) . Please take a look of this:

Not sure how to work this with an external wrapper software as OpenMeta 
seems to work (I don't have previous experience in OpenMeta, so I taking 
your word).

May be, you can change the link function between OpenMeta and R, or the 
default encoding of R. I think this also can be helpful to understand 
how to change the default options from the "root":
