To change dkk into et al

yunakadarisman14

Dear Zotero, I am from Indonesia.
I just found out that in APA Indonesian citation rule, we no longer use dkk. for et al. (for more than 2 authors)

Is it possible to change all dkk. into et al. ? How would you suggest this to be executed?

Please help,

Thank you

Desperate student

@bwiernik in case you've missed this. :)

I don't get it, do you mean I can't change it? @damnation

Open the style and in the various "locales" relatively at the beginning of the style, you will see several of these:
<locale xml:lang="de">
<terms>
<term name="et-al">et al.</term>
</terms>
</locale>

Several other languages have the term "et al." redefined. You can do the same for your language, i.e. "id".

See the following article on how to do this:

I am sorry, do you have a video tutorial on this? I had a hard time understanding the coding instructions.

Thank you.

Take my code from above, change the "de" to your language. Paste that into the style with all the others.
But do read the article I linked.
