Czech and Slovak translations

[nathansam]

Thank you for offering to help with Czech and Slovak translations @MichalLauer (#77)!

The easiest way for you to help with translations is likely via Gitlocalize. If you use the following link, you should be able to provide translations for the files used to translate warnings/errors (there's one file for messages raised within R and another for messages raised within C++ code for each language) https://gitlocalize.com/repo/8364.

Would you be also interested in helping to add support for Czech and Slovak dates? I must admit, I am not at all familiar with dates in these languages. Would it just be a case of needing to add translations for names of months, or are dates given in different formats to most other languages? For example with French, I needed to add support for "1er" and Spanish required "de" to be supported as a separator for dates (like ".","-","/" etc. are)

Hello, I will get right on it!

I would be happy to help with dates as well:) I don't think you need to add any support. In both Czech and Slovak, only a dot is sufficient, e.g.

1. Ledna -> 1st of January (Czech) or 1. Januára -> 1st of January (Slovak)

However, we have different month names in inflection (I'm not sure if this is the correct translation, it's Skloňování in Czech), so
Leden -> January, but 1. Ledna -> 1st of January.

Written dates follow usually a format of dd. mm. yyyy (the space is intentional, as it may sometimes occur).

Do you think this makes sense? :) I am proficient in R; if you need help with the implementation, feel free to reach out!
Good luck with your thesis!
