Footnotes / Ibid / op. cit. / Chicago
Hi
I use the Chicago 16th edition note for my footnotes. I have two issues:
1. some of my documents show "ibid", other docs show "ebenda", i guess it has to do with language settings. I want "ibid" because I write in english.
2. how can I get a "opus citandi" when I quote a source that already appeared earlier in the document? I hope I don't have to do that manually because it is a very long doc.
Thanks!

2) Chicago explicitly says not to use op cit., to the Chicago style doesn't use it. It's generally possible in Zotero/CSL, but modifying the Chicago style is a bit involved. Do you really want to, though? In any style outside legal writing I'm seeing a move away from using op cit., certainly when you're writing in English.

@ erazlogo: thanks, what do they replace ibid with?

For now, Zotero does not split the titles, i guess it does not recognize the punctuation mark. any clue on that? i hope i don't have to do it manually..
urgent help would be appreciated.
thank you
ps does Zotero offer Chicago 17th?
Chicago 17th hasn't been published. Once it has, we'll likely add it within a couple of months.
the field directly under the title is called "Zusammenfassung" but that actually means "abstract".
