Dev guide translation to Portuguese, R in government community call, multilingualism community call, coworking, new packages and package news
As part of our multilingual publishing project, and with funding from the R Consortium, we’ve worked on the R package babeldown for translating Markdown-based content using the DeepL API. In this tech note, we’ll show how you can use babeldown to translate a Hugo blog post!

Motivation
Translating a Markdown blog post from your R console is not only more comfortable (when you’ve already written said blog post in R), but also less frustrating. With babeldown, compared to copy-pasting the content of a blog post into some translation service, the Markdown syntax won’t be broken1, and code chunks won’t be translated. This works, because under the hood, babeldown uses tinkr to produce XML which it then sends to the DeepL API, flagging some tags as not to be translated. It then converts the XML translated by DeepL back into Markdown again.
