The development of "datos" package for the R4DS Spanish translation
summary
Project builds a lightweight R package called datos package plus YAML specs that translate r4ds text and its datasets on the fly, avoiding bundling large data. Workflow uses GitHub and Slack for coordination, about 50 contributors and ~30 reviewers, and a helper package datalang with a translated data YAML-driven converter. Implementation relies on delayedAssign to load translations at call time; code and translated datasets land on CRAN and the Spanish r4ds is available and in active maintenance.
