Chicago style german

rabewi00

Dear all,
I have a issue and I cant solve it I'm already working on it since 2 days and still didn't come to a solution.
So if someone could help me with it please.

I need the Chicago citation style, but it should look like this

(Campbell 2001, S. 2) For 2 Authors (Campbell, Smith 2001, S.2)
and for 3 or more Authors
(Campbell et al. 2012, S. 5)

So please if someone could provide me the Zotero-Style or Know where I can get it

What are you currently getting? And have you modified the style otherwise? (Also--why? especially the rule for two authors is really weird; can be done, but it's very uncommon to not have und or & between them).

rabewi00

First of all thank you for the quick reply!
The rule comes from a Professor
I found a style which could fit, but it dosen't use a comma (,) for the seperation of the Authors and also the S. for the page is missing

adamsmith

well, but if you have such strict requirements, surely the bibliography requirements are equally strict, no? How do those look? I doubt they'll follow Chicago Manual.

rabewi00

No for the bibliography its the standard.
I know it weird, but do you think that you can help me?

adamsmith

well, I may be able to help you, but I'm really not sure I understand what you need. Why not actually provide some examples of what you need in the bibliography?
I'm also still not clear whether in the two days you spend on this you modified the style at all? I.e. what am I even starting with?

Dear all
I solved the case for the 3 author issue, but I cant sove the problem for the comma. I want to have a comma (,) for two authors no (and)
and why it show me a (u. a) instead of et al

<citation et-al-min="3" et-al-use-first="1" disambiguate-add-year-suffix="true" disambiguate-add-names="true" disambiguate-add-givenname="true" givenname-disambiguation-rule="primary-name">
<layout prefix="(" suffix=")" delimiter="; ">
<group delimiter=" S. ">
<choose>
<if variable="issued accessed" match="any">
<group delimiter=" ">
<text macro="contributors-short"/>
<text macro="date-in-text"/>
</group>
</if>
<!---comma before forthcoming and n.d.-->
<else>
<group delimiter=", ">
<text macro="contributors-short"/>
<text macro="date-in-text"/>
</group>
</else>
</choose>
<text macro="point-locators"/>
</group>
</layout>
</citation>

The language is on en

<locale xml:lang="en">
<terms>
<term name="editor" form="verb-short">ed.</term>
<term name="container-author" form="verb">by</term>
<term name="translator" form="verb-short">trans.</term>
<term name="editortranslator" form="verb">
<single>edited and translated by</single>
<multiple>edited and translated by</multiple>
</term>
<term name="translator" form="short">trans.</term>
</terms>
</locale>

but it shows

u.a instead of et al.

1) Seperation of multiple authors/contributors are controlled by the names attributes.
2) The locale-part is not defining the language. I guess you want to use the style in German and therefore you would need something like
<locale xml:lang="de">
<terms>
<term name="et-al">et al.</term>
</terms>
</locale>
