After installing swirl and loading it into Rstudio I received this message:

Do you want to set the language to Chinese traditional?(y/n)

When I say no I then get this:

| Welcome to swirl! Please select where you want to sign in with.

1: Google 2: Facebook 3: Classroom

After logging in via google (I got redirected to what seemed to be a genuine google login page, with my various google accounts pre-loaded, I just had to pick one) and loading a course, the text is all in chinese anyway.

I found a couple of other people with this problem but no answer as to how it happens.

I'm running Rstudio on a Mac.

Any clues?

  • Happened to me after installing the Chinese course https://swirlstats.com/scn/dsandr.html Everything was fine before. I cannot uninstall this particular one so far and cannot get back to main menu. – Marco Aug 30 '19 at 11:17

For me, I could neither uninstall this particular course, nor all of them (uninstall_all_courses(force = TRUE)), and not even remove the package (remove.packages("swirl")). I just re-installed swirl, that did the job. Load courses again. Try

install.packages("swirl")

Best regards
