The translated help is available when topic belongs to a package installed from CRAN and the system is online. Otherwise, normal help will be shown. The source of the help is powered by 'RDocumentation', and the translation is powered by 'Google Translate.

telp(topic, package = NULL, translate_to = "default", ...)

Arguments

topic

usually, a name or character string specifying the topic for which help is sought. A character string (enclosed in explicit single or double quotes) is always taken as naming a topic.

If the value of topic is a length-one character vector the topic is taken to be the value of the only element. Otherwise topic must be a name or a reserved word (if syntactically valid) or character string.

See ‘Details’ for what happens if this is omitted.

package

a name or character vector giving the packages to look into for documentation, or NULL. By default, all packages whose namespaces are loaded are used. To avoid a name being deparsed use e.g. (pkg_ref) (see the examples).

translate_to

The help document will be translated to the specified language (e.g., "ja" for Japanese and "de" for German). If "default", the function looks up getOption("telp_translate_to", "en").
