vignette translations: define the expected translated package vignette file extensions ?

[ChristianWia]

What kind of file should be provided with vignette translations ?

Starting from an .Rmd file i have seen that packages contain sometimes additionally .pdf and .html vignette files generated from the initial file.

Example:

Vignettes in package ‘aplpack’:

sliderfns           Working with Slider Functions (source,
                    pdf)

Vignettes in package ‘argonR’:

getting_started     Getting Started (source, html)

This (multiplied by the number of locales) is for easy use but will increase size of the package.

So as a requirement, which vignette file extensions could we expect for translated data.table ? Thanks.

I believe you are asking about the format of the built vignettes?
In https://cloud.r-project.org/src/contrib/data.table_1.15.4.tar.gz the inst/doc directory contains html as the built format (not pdf)
But we do not add those files to git / source package.
instead they are created via R CMD build, before submission of package to CRAN.
Does that answer your question?

All is ok What I see in the installed package below comes from inst/doc source being the .Rmd and the .html . So at my level we only need to provide the viable XXX-fr.Rmd files and the build will generate via R the derived .html (or other) files present in the .tar.gz. Thanks.
