make_translations_pkg {tools} | R Documentation

## Package the Current Translations in the R sources

### Description

A utility for R Core members to prepare a package of updated translations.

### Usage

    make_translations_pkg(srcdir, outDir = ".", append = "-1")

### Arguments

`srcdir` | The R source directory.
`outDir` | The directory into which to place the prepared package.
`append` | The suffix for the package version number, e.g. `3.0.0-1` will be the default in R 3.0.0.

### Details

This extracts the translations in a current R source distribution and packages them as a source package called translations which can be distributed on CRAN and installed by `update.packages`. This allows e.g. the translations shipped in R 3.x.y to be updated to those currently in R-patched, even by a user without administrative privileges.

The package has a Depends field which restricts it to versions `3.x.*` for a single `x`.
