#' Render a reprex in a specific locale
#'
#' Render a [reprex()], with control over the localization of error messages and
#' aspects of the locale. Note that these are related but distinct issues!
#' Typical usage is for someone on a Spanish system to create a reprex that is
#' easier for an English-speaking audience to follow.
#'
#' @section `language`:
#' Use the `language` argument to express the preferred language of error
#' messages. The output of `dir(system.file(package = "translations"))` may
#' provide some helpful ideas. The `language` should generally follow "XPG
#' syntax": a two-letter language code, optionally followed by other modifiers.
#'
#' Examples: `"en"`, `"de"`, `"en_GB"`, `"pt_BR"`.
#'
#' @section `locale`:
#' Use the `locale` argument only if you want to affect something like how
#' day-of-the week or month is converted to character. You are less likely to
#' need to set this than the `language` argument. You may have more success
#' setting specific categories, such as `"LC_TIME"`, than multi-category
#' shortcuts like `"LC_ALL"` or `"LANG"`. The `locale` values must follow the
#' format dictated by your operating system and the requested locale must be
#' installed. Note that the format for `locale` and `language` are different
#' from each other on Windows.
#'
#' Examples: `"en_CA.UTF-8"` (macOS), `"French_France.1252"` (Windows).
#'
#' @param ... Inputs passed through to [reprex()].
#' @param language A string specifying the preferred language for messages. It
#'   is enacted via the `LANGUAGE` environment variable, for the duration of the
#'   `reprex()` call. Examples: `"en"` for English and `"fr"` for French. See
#'   Details for more.
#' @param locale A named character vector, specifying aspects of the locale, in
#'   the [Sys.setlocale()] sense. It is enacted by setting one or more
#'   environment variables, for the duration of the `reprex()` call. See Details
#'   for more.
