Upgrade StorageIncorrect APA 7 Translator Abbreviation
Hi helpful Zotero community,
My Zotero-generated APA 7 bibliography abbreviated a single translator as “Tran.” when APA 7 requires the abbreviation of “Trans.”
APA 7:
Hofmann, A. (1980). LSD: My problem child (J. Ott, Trans.). McGraw-Hill. (Original work published 1979)
Zotero:
Hofmann, A. (1980). LSD: My problem child (J. Ott, Tran.). McGraw-Hill. (Original work published 1979)
The Zotero abbreviation is correct when there are multiple translators, but APA 7 requires “Trans.” regardless of the number of translators. See APA 7 Publication Manual, p. 323, item 28 or this blog post: https://apastyle.apa.org/blog/citing-translated-works
A similar issue was encountered with MLA and fix was applied - could the same be done with APA 7?

Thanks a bunch!

adamsmithI'm not seeing this and I also don't see how this could happen. What version of Zotero are you using? And which language exactly is set for the citation style?
