Create one blank translation table — create_blank_translation

Creates a blank translation table for a single variable in a data frame.

Usage

create_blank_translation_table(
  dataframe,
  variable,
  source_lang = tcats$source_lang,
  dest_language_list = tcats$dest_lang_list
)

Arguments

dataframe: Dataframe whose columns are the variables
variable: Single variable among the columns, passed as string
source_lang: Code for source language; will head left column of output
dest_language_list: Codes, as a list of strings, to be translated to

Value

Data frame with possible values for the variable in the source language and blank to fill in translations

Details

Left column, named by source_lang has the original values. If the variable is a factor, these are the levels of the factor. If it's a character variable, these are the unique values of variable in dataframe.

Each language in the dest_language_list gets its own column. However, if the source_lang is in this list, it is removed. Duplicate values receive a warning.
