Missing label for name 'collection-editor'

tillheilmann · February 2, 2015

I can find no CSL term for the name 'collection-editor', so in my (German) styles I have to hard-code

<text value="hg. von" suffix=" "/>
<names variable="collection-editor"><name/></names>

to get collection-editors labeled. Is it possible to add such a term to the next CSL specification? Am I missing something?

Best,
Till

collection-editor is in the CSL specs, see http://citationstyles.org/downloads/specification.html#roles.
It just doesn't seem to be defined in any of the locale files (my guess: because in most languages and styles it's the same word as the "editor" term), but of course you can define it in a style file, as, e.g., din-1505-2.csl does, see https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/din-1505-2.csl#L62.

Sorry, that was obvious. Thanks! –Till

we'd gladly take a pull request with a reasonable translation into German for the general locale file
(Same for any other language, obviously).
