########## File path: R/pkg/R/install.R ########## @@ -293,7 +289,7 @@ sparkCachePath <- function() { Sys.getenv("XDG_CACHE_HOME", file.path(Sys.getenv("HOME"), ".cache")), "spark") } } else { - stop(sprintf("Unknown OS: %s", .Platform$OS.type)) + stop(gettextf("Unknown OS: %s", .Platform$OS.type, domain = "R-SparkR"), domain = NA) Review comment: `gettextf` is built with a translation interface and thus preferable to `sprintf`, this is why it's done this way in base R, e.g. https://github.com/wch/r-source/blob/trunk/src/library/base/R/dataframe.R#L184 ``` as.data.frame.default <- function(x, ...) stop(gettextf("cannot coerce class %s to a data.frame", sQuote(deparse(class(x))[1L])), domain = NA) ``` In this way, when `tools::update_pkg_po('.')` is run, the string literal in `gettextf` is captured as a message for translation; strings for `sprintf` are not so captured. `SparkR` doesn't have any translations yet, but IMO it doesn't hurt to align to that possibility. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
