esp_dict: Convert and translate subdivision names

In mapSpain: Administrative Boundaries of Spain

Convert and translate subdivision names

Description

Converts long subdivision names into different coding schemes and languages.

Usage

esp_dict_region_code(sourcevar, origin = "text", destination = "text")

esp_dict_translate(sourcevar, lang = "en", all = FALSE)

Arguments

sourcevar	Vector which contains the subdivision names to be converted.
origin, destination	One of "text", "nuts", "iso2", "codauto" and "cpro".
lang	Language of translation. Available languages are: "es": Spanish "en": English "ca": Catalan "ga": Galician "eu": Basque
all	Logical. Should the function return all names or not? On FALSE it returns a character vector. See Value.

Details

If no match is found for any value, the function displays a warning and returns NA for those values.

Note that mixing names of different administrative levels (e.g. "Catalonia" and "Barcelona") may return empty values, depending on the destination values.

Value

esp_dict_region_code() returns a vector of characters.

esp_dict_translate() returns a character vector or a named list with each of the possible names of each sourcevar on the required language lang.
