allow utf8 characters

Open kaz462 opened this issue 6 months ago • 3 comments

Regarding the non-ascii I suggest we should allow utf8 characters (including Chinese, Japanese ...etc), For eSubmission in China, one of the request is translate the foreign language data package (e.g. English) to Chinese. (variable label, dataset label, meddra, whodrug terms, primary end point related code list ..etc need to be translated from English to Chinese).

I'm wondering if this is getting out of scope. We really were focused just on FDA for submissions.

Maybe we should have a series of helper packages for the other agencies? @atorus-research/xportr-development-team

ACtually musing on this a bit more....maybe a xportr_write_china()

or an argument that you supply with the agency? xportr_write( agency = c("fda", "china", "pmda", etc)
