I would really like it in English and there seems to be no way to change that!?! I´m doing an abroad internship, so my Spanish is far from perfect and my tutorial is in English.

Yes, set the environment variable LANGUAGE to what you want.  This is 
described in detail in the R Installation and Administration manual. 
You can do this on the R command line, e.g. I normally get R in English, 
but can switch to Spanish by starting it as

Rgui LANGUAGE=es

The two letter language abbreviations are listed in 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639-1 and a document it links to.
