[ESS] R and LANGUAGE WAS: ESS question

Hi Kasper:

Good guess, but wrong ;o)  Actually, the problem is in Sys.getlocale()
Recent versions of R have this in its help...

     Note that the ‘LANGUAGE’ environment variable has precedence over
     ‘"LC_MESSAGES"’ in selecting the language for message translation
     on most R platforms.

However, the function itself just ignores LANGUAGE.  I searched bugzilla,
but did not find anything related to LANGUAGE or Sys.getlocale()
I guess this is a feature :o)
