Chicago Manual Style 16th edition but without capitals, possible?

aacoppen

Hi,
I'm writing in Dutch so I need only capitals for the first word of a sentence and not for other important words (as in English). The Chicago Manual Style 16th edition is a good style I think for me but does anyone know how I can turn of the giving of capitals in an automatic way?
Sorry for my english.
Best regards,
aacoppen

Putting "nl" in the Language field of the Dutch items should do it. Alternatively, if the style has default-locale set to "nl", entries with an empty Language field will be treated as Dutch references for capitalization purposes.

Hi Fbennett,

This works indeed! Thanks a lot! Spend some time searching for the solution but asking experts on this forum just seems the best solution ;-) Thx

Note that you probably don't want to be inserting "nl" for all of the entries in Zotero. It's _supposed_ to be entered only for references that are Dutch.

If you're writing in Dutch, you will probably want to use a Dutch citation style, or (since CMoS is localizable) set your bibliography locale to Dutch. See https://www.zotero.org/support/supported_languages#citations_and_bibliographies
