Edit Citation CSL in APA 6th Edition for Arabic
I tried using the Arabic language in microsoft word (with, right to left text direction), and when using Zotero with APA 6th Style, the result is:
citation: )سيسيسيس,2001:1(
citation above results indicate an unusual square brackets. but I tried to edit CSL:
<layouts prefix = ")" suffix = "("
result: (سيسيسيس, 2001:1)
but the problem is the page number preceding year arrangement, I want format citation as below:
(سيسيسيس,1:2001)
format: (pagenumber:year,author)
Can help me with the code I need for this?

Once we've figured out a reliable means of controlling the behaviour, a patch can be proposed for mainstream Zotero. Follow the thread linked above for updates.
The citation form you want is appropriate to RTL sources cited in RTL text. What form would you use for citing LTR sources in that context? That is, would it be "(Smith, 2001:1)" or "(1:2001, Smith)"?
fbennet and I have been working for a few weeks with another RTL
problem. The thing is I'm not able to get the result you got.
I would like to recreate your results. Could you please tell me
your setup (OS version and lang settings,Office settings Zotero/MLZ ...). Also, you said you edited the APAv6 style. Could you please
send it to me?
Thanks,
David
