my fellow #Rstats friends - would any multilingual folks have any tips on changing the language for R/RStudio (including the menus) for a given session without changing the system settings? The goal is find a frictionless workflow to facilitate teaching 😊🍎 (1/2)

See you folks very soon! Excited to end the afternoon chatting with fellow R nerds!
