Can't change locale for shinyappsio

[aush]

shinyappsio shows messages in Russian, which I don't want:

Even though my Sys.getlocale() gives LC_COLLATE=English_United States.1252;LC_CTYPE=English_United States.1252;LC_MONETARY=English_United States.1252;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=English_United States.1252.
I tried to run Sys.setlocale("LC_ALL","C") and re-publish - this didn't help... Couldn't find any documentation about this.

Could you please attach the logs from deploying your application?

The rsconnect package attempts to detect you locale locally and includes that in the bundle it deploys.

Do you mean the log from the Deploy tab of RStudio? It was pretty short:

As I said, when I call Sys.getlocale(), it gives English_United States.1252 only, so I'm still puzzled where rsconnect takes something different...

What is the output of sessionInfo() in the console from which you are deploying?

You can override the detected locale by setting the option rsconnect.locale to an appropriate value.

I'm not sure what is going on, but the rsconnect package tries to detect the locale and capture it in what is uploaded to shinyapps.io. Perhaps there is a bug in it? Is there anything you can think of on your local machine that was making use of ru_RU? If you create a new application and deploy it, does it have the same problem?
