Automatic translation french in American psychological association 6th

BoB_VoiD

Hello, i am searching how to change the automatic translation because for web sites it's not good:

Le Ny, J. (2008). Encyclopædia Universalis : APPRENTISSAGE. Retrouvé Décembre 21, 2010, de http://www.universalis-edu.com/encyclopedie/apprentissage/#

The date format is not good too .

It should be :

Le Ny, J. (2008). Encyclopædia Universalis : APPRENTISSAGE.Vu le 21 Décembre, 2010, Sur http://www.universalis-edu.com/encyclopedie/apprentissage/#

Where can i change the date format and the translations words for french???
Thank's a lot

Happy holidays

In general we will overhaul translations soon-ish.
Until then you´ll have to change this in the terms section of the style - unless you´re somewhat comfortable writing code, this is probably going to be too technical, but here are the general instructions:

sorry, no time for more specific instructions.

hello,
thank's for quick answer.

I don't understand verry well the way it work :
I tried :

<terms>
<locale xml:lang="fr">
<term name="retrieved" form="Verb">Vu sur</term>

</locale>
</terms>

after </info> and load the style


but it don't work ....

adamsmith

almost - try this
<term name="retrieved">Vu le</term>
<term name="from">Sur</term>
(with all the locale settings like you have above).
That should fix everything but the order of the date - you'd have to fix that down in the accessed macro if it's important.

See here:

for some general tips and how to get your style back into Zotero.

Thank's for your help.

adamsmith

that should certainly work. Have you tried it in the test panel?
chrome://zotero/content/tools/csledit.xul
I have the exact code you use working for me.
The macros do not affect the terms, no.

Thank's yes it work now, thank you !I just needed to restart firefox after re-importing the style.
For the date format it is in the style.

Thank's for the tip of the test panel.
Bye
