Strings for translation

Dear module developers!
Can you enclose text output strings in .("Some String") function symbols?
Only in *.b.R files.
This makes it easier to translate your modules into other languages.
P.S. I think Jonathon will agree with me.

Hi Yuri,
Yes, in order to translate modules, you can surround your text with the .() function as you describe.
Is that what your asking? I feel like i'm not answering your question, sorry!

For example (in *.b.R file):
matrix$addFootnote(rowNo=i, paste0(colVarName, '[r]'), .('Pearson correlation cannot be calculated for non-numeric values'))
or
nm <- jmvcore::format(.('Matrix #{i}'), i=nCl)
You need to add importFrom(jmvcore,.) to NAMESPACE file first
+ If you want make a translation file:
jmvtools::i18nCreate("langcode")
and
jmvtools::i18nUpdate("langcode")
after making changes

Seems like a good idea. I've been trying to do exactly that but have struggled with it as I could not find any information on how to add translation to a module. It would be immensely helpful if this topic would be explained in the official jamovi documentation on module development:
https://docs.jamovi.org/_pages/developer-hub.html. I'm sure yurismol or someone else from the community could help with writing the documentation?

I can, but I think Jonathon would do it better.
