title: import CSV Files containing German Umlauts into R
body: <p>I am working with R Studio and need to import a csv File for Text mining.
  The File is windows-1252 encoded and contains German Umlauts.</p>
  
  <p>However I cannot get R to import these Umlauts correctly. using read.table(X,fileEncoding="UTF-8") results in an error. </p>
  
  <p>What am I missing?</p>
  
  <p>----UPDATE----</p>
  
  <p>The File I am trying to read is: 
  <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4kGh2YwTmb9U3hkei1TTHlUME0/edit?usp=sharing" rel="noreferrer">https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4kGh2YwTmb9U3hkei1TTHlUME0/edit?usp=sharing</a></p>
  
  <p>Using this R Code:</p>
  
  <p><code>Sys.setlocale("LC_CTYPE", "german")
  dataset &lt;- read.table("../processed/DE_all_CDM_201405050001_DE_all_CDM2014-05-05_rcout.csv", encoding="UTF-8", header=TRUE, sep=";", stringsAsFactors=F, as.is=T)
  dataset &lt;- dataset[,c(1,11,30)]
  Encoding(dataset[,2]) &lt;- "UTF-8"</code></p>
