dict_translate: Relabels a wide data2d data.table
In docsteveharris/ccfun: Functions for manipulating the HIC Critical Care data set

Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

Relabels the columns of a wide data2d data.table (as generated by the selectTable function in ccdata). Because this uses the data.table::setnames function then the name changes happen 'in place' and nothing is returned

`dict`	defaults to ITEM_REF
`label.in`	name for the item to be translated
`label.out`	name of the item to be used for the new column name
`dt`	data.table to be relabelled

0 (if the function completes)

# use the ITEM_REF dictionary (not run)
