Upgrade StorageStrange replacement of "and" in collection titles by "et" with French CSL
I am using Zotero to generate a Bib file for Latex, and using RMarkdown/Pandoc in order to generate a pdf with a bibliography. I am using a standard version of the Chicago style CSL in French (https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/chicago-author-date-fr.csl).
For books that belong in a collection, such as for example "Cambridge Handbooks in Language and Linguistics", the tex file that gets produced modifies the collection so that every time there is an "and" in it, it is replaced with "et" in French! So in this example, the bibliography prints it out as "Cambridge Handbooks in Language Et Linguistics".
Since the "et" is capitalized, I suspect that this replacement takes place somehow in the processing of the CSL (it considers "et" as some unknown English word and capitalizes it, I guess)
As a test, I have tried to redefine the "and", by specifying an English locale, but that only replaces "Author_A et Author_B" with "Author_A and Author_B", and does not do anything with the English collection titles containing an "and".
Does anyone know where this systematic replacement of "and" by "et" comes from and how to fix this? Thank you.

More generally speaking, I'd recommend just using CSL JSON, not BibTex or BibLaTeX for pandoc/RStudio integration: that's what (pandoc) citeproc uses natively, and by using .bib you're basically adding two extra conversion steps that are potential sources of error.
Thank you very much for your reply and comment. As you surmised, the bib file had the right "and" spelling. I did as you suggested, and used the json format to export the bibliography, and that fixed the problem!! I'll only used json going forward; I did not know it was the recommended way of specifying the biblio.
Thank you again.
