From: "Shigeru Mase" To: Cc: Subject: Re: [R] R Documentation(s) Date: Wednesday, May 03, 2000 1:02 PM Dear R users, This may be an almost useless information to a.e of you, but may be interesting to those in Japanese. There is a small ML called "(unofficial) R-jp" in Japan planning to translate various R documentations into Japanese. (Without doubts, Japanese prefers to read documentations in Japanese than in English!) Up to now, the product is only the translation of the official LaTeX manual of R and we are now translating R's html help files. The source (and also dvi, ps, pdf) LaTeX files are at http://www.md.tsukuba.ac.jp/epidemiology/ML/R-jp/ It is a shame (or rather reasonable?) that this project was first proposed by those users who want to use R in their researches and business, not by professional statisticians in Japan. We are very impressed by the speed of revisions of R and are afraid not to be able to keep up with its speed. Anyhow we want to express our thanks to those R-developpers and hope to contribute to R itself in future (a possible main difficulty is our general deficiency in writing readable English). It is a good news that we have now the R programming book by Prof.'s Venables and Ripley. I am looking forward to reading it. -------------------------------------------------------- Shigeru MASE , Dept. of Math. and Comp.
