Multilanguage support for zbib?

frankweber · September 5, 2019

About a year ago I asked for multi-language-support for zbib in the announcement-post https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/310417/#Comment_310417
Dan created and assigned an issue on github https://github.com/zotero/bib-web/issues/240 so I wanted to ask about the status of this request?
We'd still could use this really well, is there a chance this feature will be implemented in zbib anytime soon?

I think I was actually mistaken and this was already implemented when you first posted — the relevant code to do this was added in 2017. See the screenshot here:

Have you tried recently? It's possible there was a bug when you first tried that was later fixed.

I just tried, and to me the situation seems unchanged, meaning the generated bibliography is using english.

Maybe there _is_ a way to switch to german and I just don't know how to do it?

What do you see in the table on this page?

this:
Detected 3 languages in your web browser.

OK, so then that doesn’t appear to be set up to prefer German for webpage content.

Strange, as it's the german version of FF
How can I adapt this setting?

In the Firefox preferences

Thank you very much!
