Shiny applications internationalisation made easy!
Actually, you can use shiny.i18n as a standalone R package - shiny app is just a perfect usecase example.
Using it is very simple: just prepare your translation files in one of the supported formats, read them into your app using user-friendly shiny.i18n interface and surround your expressions to translate by a translator tag. Thanks to that your app will remain neat and readible.

json - single file translation.json with mandatory fields: "languages" with list of all language codes and "translation" with list of dictionaries assigning each translation to a language code. Example of such a json file for Polish language you may find here: inst/examples/data/translation.json.
