The function compiles a table of background values and their translations
in the language selected from the configuration supplied to it. Current
Configuration resources from the database obtained by
get_configuration() only contain canges made after the
addition of the project configuration editor in iDAI.field 3.
You can obtain older language configurations with
download_language_list() from the iDAI.field GitHub repository.
Arguments
- lang_list
A list in the format used by iDAI.fields configuration, containing a separate list for each language with its short name (e.g. "en", "de") in which the "commons", "categories" etc. lists are contained. Can be obtained with
get_configuration().- language
Language short name that is to be extracted, e.g. "en", defaults to "en"
- remove_config_names
TRUE/FALSE: Should the name of the project be removed from field names of the configuration? (Default is TRUE.) (Should e.g.: test:amount be renamed to amount, see
remove_config_names().)
Value
A data.frame that can serve as a lookup table, with the background name in the "var" column, and the selected language in the "label" column.
Details
Be aware: if two things have the same name in the background of the database / project configuration but you use different translations this will result in only one of the translations being used.
