Locale setting on R does not work #3363

If I set proper settings in Control Panel (R looks into regional settings - i.e. time/date format and not into OS UI or OEM codepage, RGui comes localized but in VS I still get English R.

OK, I can set locale properly etc, but most message still come in English. I think this is b/c RGui is using libintl_vasnprintf while we call msvcrt which obviously does not translate anything.

RTVS does not display 'NLS support' message. Setting language works for installed packages but not for R or base packages.
