If translations are available by early April they can be shipped with 2.1.0 (although there are planned to be mechanisms to add them to an R installation).
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
This has already been corrected, thank you. The developer site is only updated daily.
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.
Not as yet. That's a much larger task.
