I'm making a ggplot.

The data is looking like this: 

df$Measure         df$Date        df$House
0.006              2015-01-13        A  
0.008              2015-01-13        A
0.002              2015-02-13        C
0.010              2015-03-13        D
0.010              2015-03-13        B

I plot the data with:

ggplot (df) +geom_line(aes(y = df$Measure, x = df$Date)) +
  facet_wrap(~House) + labs (tittle = "Energy total per House") +
  ylab ("Energy value") + xlab ("Months")

The data plot is good, but I got a problem. The x-axis is plotted automatic, but with dutch translations.

So I got on the X- axis: feb, mrt, apr, mei, jun, jul, aug, sep

But I want to have this in English: feb, mar, apr, may, jun, jul, aug, sep How is this possible? I tried to change them, but I didn't worked, because the months are automatic extracted.

  • Really thanks. This worked: Sys.setlocale("LC_TIME", "en_US") –  Jul 01 '16 at 13:10
