French translation (vignettes) #6455

This is the French translation for fr.po and R-fr.po.

This is also the translation of the ten vignettes in French, in an "fr" subdirectory as discussed in #6221 (@MichaelChirico "As long as it actually works, I agree for now putting it in subdirectories is the way to go.")

However, the vignettes in subdirectories are not listed in the main help page of the package, nor by vignette(). This is a problem (they are essentially "unusable" as such). Also, there are twice more vignettes to compile now, and possibly even more if there are other translations.

So, the solution to place translated vignettes in a {data.table.fr} package along with the translation of the man pages may be a better solution. I also did a trial in this direction in phgrosjean/data.table.fr.

Please, check both approaches before deciding for this pull request.

Out of curiosity, what are the commands you ran to generate the PO files and the MO files?

@phgrosjean

We (we are indeed 5 translators) use poEdit to get the .po file from the .pot template, and when the .po file is saved in poEdit, the .mo file is automatically created.

I now remembered you mentioned using rmdpo for extracting the POT from the vignettes.

@phgrosjean

@rffontenelle Oh yes, sorry, you asked for the vignettes. We used indeed {rmdpo}. For now, it directly updates the existing .po file with changes in the vignette, but a pathway using a .pot file would be better.

The various files are here and in subdirectories, and the script that generates these files is here

We still have to figure out how to work with Weblate, if and when this will be available for {data.table}.

Should there be a brief documentation somewhere about who was responsible for the translation of the vignette (so they can get credit, and to stay in contact for updates), as well as what resources were used for the translation? RFrench dictionary, {rmdpo}, etc. Probably for authorship DESCRIPTION Authors@R is best, with comment="French translation of vignettes and messages" or similar.
I'm not sure what would be the best place to document what resources were used, maybe that can stay out of the repo? for example on a wiki page? https://github.com/Rdatatable/data.table/wiki/Translations

However, the vignettes in subdirectories are not listed in the main help page of the package, nor by vignette(). This is a problem (they are essentially "unusable" as such). Also, there are twice more vignettes to compile now, and possibly even more if there are other translations.

For distributing the vignettes in a separate package, a drawback would be that it is not as easy for users to discover the additional vignettes in data.table.fr package (compared to the English vignettes in data.table package).

If we wanted to maintain discoverability, and keep the French vignettes in data.table package, we could move them to the main vignettes directory, but that may be a problem for build times?

Another place users may want to discover vignettes is on http://rdatatable.gitlab.io/data.table/ so I wonder how the vignettes would appear there?

In phgrosjean/data.table.fr, translators are listed as contributors of the package, but this is not totally correct. We should list vignettes authors + translators with a clear indication of who did what. Is there a list of vignettes authors (a subset of all {data.table} authors, I suppose)?

Otherwise, I think French vignettes should appear in the menu Vignettes > fr > ... if the site is build using {pkgdown} on http://rdatatable.gitlab.io/data.table/. Could you try it in a sandbox somewhere?

Ideally, English vignettes should be replaced by French ones at the different places when the user sets LANGUAGE=fr as environment variable, but R help, vignette(), {pkgdown}... are not build like that. They are monolingual. Period. (for now)

This is a discussion for the R translation working group. But in the meantime, we have to find a satisfactory transient solution for {data.table}.

Oh, and there is also the translation of the cheatsheet. Where to place it?

tdhock commented Sep 4, 2024

the cheat sheets currently go in rstudio/cheatsheets#367

- paquet -> package in R-fr.po, datatable-importing.Rmd and datatable-reshape.Rmd
- `"JFK" et "LAX"`-> `c("JFK", "LAX")` i, datatable-secondary-indices-and-auto-indexing.Rmd

Thanks so much! Would you mind splitting this into two PRs? One with the main package .po, the other with the vignette changes? Clearly the latter requires a bit more careful thought. The former can be merged right away.

Oh, I had to re-fork the repository and I did not notice this when I did my commit.
I'll do a separate pull request for the main package .po files, since the discussion here is mainly about vignettes.

other than that, is this PR ready to merge?

Could you try it in a sandbox somewhere?

I have not checked if we can see vignettes on pkgdown site yet, I will try on my local machine.

Ignore that, it's present in the original but skipped:

sample_int_linter = Inf

(or if anything, it should be fixed by a similar lintr config setup)

so there are three blocking points that we need to decide before merging this PR.

  1. do we keep vignettes in vignettes/fr sub-directory (probably not visible on CRAN, but visible on pkgdown site according to @phgrosjean but I was unable to verify because I got an error when I tried to build), or do we move them to regular vignettes directory? (should be visible on CRAN as well). I tend to think that for the short term we should just move them to the regular vignettes directory, so we can see them on CRAN, and maybe later we can move them?
  2. do we want to add links between the different translations (link to French version on top of English version, etc) ?
  3. where to give authorship credit to translators? I would suggest adding them to data.table/DESCRIPTOIN as below, is that OK?
