APA Change: Making it "Accessed under ()."
Hi everyone,
as per my uni's rules, any URL citations need to have the access date affixed after them in brackets (language: Swiss German, or nswissgerman in LaTeX). An example:
Zeit Online. (2017). Kurznachrichtendienst: Twitter verbannt RT und Sputnik als Werbekunden. Zeit Online. Abgerufen von https://www.zeit.de/wirtschaft/unternehmen/2017-10/kurznachrichtendienst-twitter-russia-today-sputnik-werbekunden (13. Mai 2019).
I switched over from Mendeley because it would never export URLDATE to Overleaf or in Word anymore.
There are two things I need to change here:
- The "von" in "Abgerufen von", which is the localized "accessed at" string before the URL, needs to be changed to "Abgerufen unter".
- I need the access date (URLDATE) to be affixed after the URL in brackets with a period after.
Before, to get this done, I changed the APA 6th CSL to a personalized version and changed it. I could load it perfectly in Mendeley, but now, I can't open the style anymore to copy it and make changes. So I tried to copy-paste the CSL's actual contents into a new .CSL file and load that. I kept getting errors (even though it worked perfectly in Mendeley), so I ran the validator. Here's how my code part looks:
This throws me errors in the CSL validator, saying suffixes and prefixes in date-part are not allowed. But this worked before. Neither the CSL website's uploader nor Zotero will accept my CSL.
What do I have to change here?
Thank you so much!

How do I go about changing the localization aspect?
<text value="Abgerufen unter"/>
instead of using the term or you can localize the term above -- I'd have to see more of your code for that, though -- it currently doesn't include the term used (the current APA 6 style uses retrieved from, you refer to "available at"
