I´ve been playing with the translation files here (I intend to
to translate the base and recommended packages files to Portuguese), and
I noticed a minor problem with the instructions detailed in
http://developer.r-project.org/Translations.html
Where it says:
" Then compile and install the translated catalogues by
mkdir ../inst/po/LC_MESSAGES/sl
msgfmt -o ../inst/po/LC_MESSAGES/sl/R-splines.mo R-sl.po
msgfmt -o ../inst/po/LC_MESSAGES/sl/splines.mo sl.po
"
It should read:
"
(...)
mkdir ../inst/po/sl/LC_MESSAGES/
msgfmt -o ../inst/po/sl/LC_MESSAGES/R-splines.mo R-sl.po
msgfmt -o ../inst/po/sl/LC_MESSAGES/splines.mo sl.po
"
After fixing this I managed to get the gettext translated
messages to work here.
On a side note, are there any plans regarding the translation
of the .Rd documentation files? As much as the translation of
messages is important, I believe that the online documentation would
also be an essencial issue.
