Bug with locale setting?

[dominicroye]

Hi,

I just updated my app on https://xeo81.shinyapps.io/MeteoExtremosGalicia/, but since the update, the local definition isn't right on the shinyapp server. It shouldn't be English. This causes problems in ggplot and the months labels are in English instead of Spanish.

My session info is the following:

I could solve it by including Sys.setlocale("LC_ALL", "es_ES.UTF8"), but I didn't need it before.

If you have a subscription to shinyapps.io, I recommend opening a ticket with the support team. Otherwise, do you mind sharing the output from the deployment? It might shed light on why the locale isn't being detected properly.

Duplicate of #233, I think.
