Spanish APA Style

RoiAd

Hello, I'm not really very knowledgeable about the program in general, but I don't find the APA Spanish style anywhere, some mention the "settings" page should have the option for referencing but in my version (newest one), there isn't a "language" option like I've heard about, do I have to create a new one? Thanks!

How exactly are you creating your bibliography?

There's a Language option in both the Create Bibliography from Item window and the Document Preferences window that appears when you first insert a citation into a word processor document with the plugin (or click the Document Preferences button in the plugin toolbar/menu).

Ok, I did that now, and in the preview window/bar the right format appears (y), but when I hit Enter the english format appears (&). Any suggestions?

I’m not sure what you’re referring to. Can you provide exact steps to reproduce the problem?

It's about the ampersand -- that's categorically not used in some languages.

@RoiAd -- that's not localized in the style, you'd need to use a different version, available here: https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=id:apa-no-ampersand

@adamsmith Is making and="symbol" use the localized ‘and’ term a change we might want to consider for CSL 1.2?

adamsmith

localizing both the and symbold (which would be a trivial change I think) and the delimiter behavior (serial commas don't exist in most languages) is on my list of things I'd like to see, yes.

@adamsmith This may sound odd, but is there such a version for APA 6th edition? I don't want to change the format of my document mid-way.

This is apa-no-ampersand before it was updated to version 7.
