Dear Sir/Madam
I am a BSc student studying statistics in Ferdowsi University of
Mashhad,Iran.
Translating R messages to Farsi is my thesis and I have already
downloaded *poEdit* to translate those messages.However, the
created .mo files for R.pot and RGui.pot are not useful at all.
I would like to be informed if there is something wrong with right-
to-left encoding or Farsi fonts or Farsi support.
I am eagerly looking forward to hearing from you soon.
I greatly appreciate the assistance you may provided me.
Could you please repost to the R-devel list, with some more
details? As far as I know Farsi would be our first right-to-left
language, so I'd expect problems.
Hebrew? We had an earlier question relating to plotting displays about
right-to-left displaying Hebrew text improperly, but as far as I know
the console displays were working properly.
A search for "right-to-left" with RSeek suggests you may get some
support with package:ISOcodes.
However, I do not see Farsi in the list of languages supported at:
http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/ISO-639-2_utf-8.txt
But my knowledge in this area is very skimpy and the glyph-set needed
may go by another name.
I don't know if they are solvable with a reasonable effort, but
that's the place to get started.
Examples of details:
Do other displays of Farsi strings in R work properly? e.g.
cat("some Farsi string") or print("some Farsi string").
Can readLine() read a text file with Farsi text and display it
properly?
What is the usual encoding used for Farsi text?
