R is becoming the global standard language for data analysis, but it requires its user to speak English. RL10N is an R Consortium funded project to make it easier to translate error messages and warnings into different languages. The talk covers how to automatically translate messages using Google Translate and Microsoft Translator, and how to easily integrate these message translations into your R packages using msgtools. Make your code more accessible to users around the world!
