en dash for encyclopaedia entry
Dear all,
We are seeing an issue with en dash.
I am using this style: http://www.zotero.org/styles/hiob-ludolf-centre-for-ethiopian-studies
An I have an encyclopaedia entry in my bibliography.
If I call the API, the page range delimiter is correct, an en dash, see

Voigt, R. 2003. “Aithiopía,” in Encyclopaedia Aethiopica, I (Wiesbaden: Harrassowitz Verlag, 2003), 162b–165a.
Here I really miss the option of specifying the language of the style via API (https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/57891/), but I want to focus on that en dash, which is fine.
If I use the Style editor or the word plugin, I get in the same position as page range delimiter a hyphen.

I have tried in the style editor to do as suggested here

and add – to force the use of the en dash, but that as well did not help.
In all other cases, like articles, etc. the en dash is added correctly.
Please could you tell me if I messed up something in the style or there is a problem somewhere else?
Thank you very much

Switching hyphens to en-dahes for encyclopedia entries could likely be done with relative ease using the API/pyzotero
