clean_period(x, language = "English")

clean_period_df(x, language = "English")

`x`	A numeric or character vector.
`language`	The language in which text labels are written. Defaults to English.

Open intervals such as "<2020" or "2020+" are not allowed.

By default, clean_period assumes that any text labels are written in English. However, other languages can be specified using the language argument. Current choices are ADD OVER TIME.

Function clean_period_df returns a data frame showing how each unique element in x is interpreted by function clean_period and whether the element can be interpreted as a valid period label.

clean_period returns a character vector with the same length as x in which labels that have been parsed are translated to dem formats. clean_period_df returns a data frame with columns "input", "output", and "is_valid".
