map_iso3166: Map answer codes

In jmueller17/LimeRLabel: Label LimeSurvey R Data Frame

Map answer codes

Description

Maps country answer codes between different translated version of the GEAM questionnaire. Nationality or country selection choices in a survey are usually listed alphabetically. For translated versions this can be a problem as the answer codes for countries do not match. For example. "L013" is the answer code for Hungary in the English version while "L026" is the answer code for "Wegry" (i.e. Hungary) in the Polish version.

When labeling the answers that use country codes, one has to bear in mind that answer codes need to be matched with the target language. For example, a questionnaire exists in English and Spanish. When labelling the result data in Spanish (to produce a Spanish report), the English submissions need to be recodified as answer codes do not match. In case result data needs to be labelled in English, the Spanish submissions need to be recodified to make sure that answer codes refer to the same items (countries).
