Please consider adding the following to the next R release (I understand that it's too late for R-2.1.0). It adds the menu item `Search R Site' in the `Help' menu in Rgui (which calls RSiteSearch() on the input string).
Can you or someone else think of a better name? That sounds like it searches www.r-project.org. I think even 'R Sites Search' would be better. Yes, it is too late: we need lead time for the translators these days. (RGui has Chinese, German, Italian and Japanese menus available.)
I'd suggest "R help online...".
But, it is not 'help online': it is searching docs and past help.
After the release, I think this should go into R-patched. Do we have tools to tell the translators all the new strings that need translating, or should they be explicitly informed about such a thing?
Yes, msgmerge/msgfmt tells them. The message catalogues change almost daily as people add features.
