[R-pkg-devel] translation .mo files
I have been sent .po and .mo files with message translations for one of my packages. The .po file I know goes in the source package po/ directory but I have not had .mo files previously. The translator thinks the .mo file goes in inst/po. The .mo file seems to be generated from the .po file, but I am not sure if that happens in the install of the source package, or in some pre-process. I thought I could determine this by looking at an installed package, but I don't see .po or .mo files in installed packages. So far I have had no luck finding documentation on these details. So I have three questions. -Should the .mo file be included in the package, and if so, where? -When a package is installed, where does the translation information go in the directory structure of the library? -Is this documented somewhere? (Please not a vague reference to 'Writing R Extensions', I've looked there and many other places. I need a section or page reference.) Thanks, Paul Gilbert __ R-package-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel
Re: [R-pkg-devel] translation .mo files
Hi Paul, Check out this doc file for suggested workflows: https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/tools/html/update_pkg_po.html The key part is that you need to create a .pot file from which the .po files are generated and edit. Then you need to "install" the translations (before R CMD build) to get them in the right place. I wouldn't recommend trying to do any of that by hand. I once wrote a more convenient version of all of this (no longer on CRAN) that might be helpful. See, especially this file: https://github.com/RL10N/msgtools/blob/master/R/install_translations.R. That package also contains translations so you can see an example of where everything should end up. Best, -Thomas Thomas J.

Re: [R-pkg-devel] "found non-ASCII strings" with save(version = 2)
Unsurprisingly, this was due to user error. I found the fix. Sorry for the email clutter. vab On Wed, Feb 5, 2020, at 08:32, Vincent Arel-Bundock wrote: > Hi everyone, > > My `countrycode` package ships with two data frames of characters in > several languages: codelist and codelist_panel. > > I converted all strings to UTF-8 using the `enc2utf8` function, but I > also tried several other ways, with the stringi package, etc. As far as > I can tell, the strings are all in UTF-8 format now: > > url <- > 'https://github.com/vincentarelbundock/countrycode/raw/master/data/codelist.rda' > temp <- tempfile() > download.file(url, temp) > load(temp) > tmp <- codelist[, sapply(codelist, is.character)] > library(stringi) > all(unlist(lapply(tmp, function(x) stri_enc_isutf8((na.omit(x)) > [1] TRUE > > After encoding, I saved the data frames with this command: > > save(codelist, file = 'data/codelist.rda', compress = 'xz', version = 2) > > Yet, when I run R CMD check, I get the following warning: > > checking data for non-ASCII characters ...

[R-pkg-devel] CRAN RPM repositories available
Hi all, I apologize if you are receiving multiple copies of this email, but I'm cross-posting because I believe this may be of interest to a wider audience than just R-SIG-Fedora. This is to announce that I'm maintaining a Copr project [1] that provides RPM repos for Fedora 30, 31 and rawhide for most of CRAN (currently, almost 15k packages), and they are automatically synchronized with CRAN (removing archived packages and building new updates) on a daily basis. Please, feel free to use them. For further details, see the overview page [1]. Bug reports and feedback are more than welcome [2].
