Use standard mechanisms to offer language options #138

Closed Bisaloo closed 2 months ago

Bisaloo commented 4 months ago

epiCo currently proposes the output in English or Spanish in a number of functions. This is great to improve usability & adoption!

I think the current way to specify language could be improved by using R standard mechanisms (via the gettext() function) and automatically detecting the user language.

Benefits:

It may be good to have global meeting on this at some point so we can start adding multilingual options to many Epiverse-TRACE packages in a standard way.
