Spanish language for common_to_sci not working #249

Closed angle-zhang closed 1 year ago

angle-zhang commented 2 years ago

I have a database of common names in Spanish along with some information. I am hoping to find the scientific names for these fish, but when I run the code below, I get a dataframe with results that lead me to believe the query didn't work. Please let me know if this is a bug and if there's a workaround for this.

Thanks for all your work and your response in advance!

Code scinames_fb=rfishbase::common_to_sci(com_names_es_key$common_name_es, Language="Spanish")

Thanks for the bug report, I'll take a look.

Meanwhile, consider filtering from the raw common name table:

library(dplyr)
library(rfishbase)
all_spanish <- rfishbase::fb_tbl("comnames") |> filter(Language == "Spanish")
