Specification of CSL terms for different languages

Anton_Morkovin · February 29, 2012

Hello,

I'm trying to create a csl style for Russian journal. Is it possible to put different "et-al", "p." and other terms for papers in Russian and in English?

Thanks for your help!

If I understand you correctly and you mean using different labels within the same paper, depending on the language of the cited work, the answer is currently not, no. This is generally on the radar, though.

Yes, that's the problem, thank you. I hope this feature will be implemented soon.

no, to be honest, it won't. Best case scenario is it will happen in the next major Zotero version (3.5).

But much of the work has already been done, and you can use this today with the Multilingual branch of Zotero: http://citationstylist.org/tools/?#mlz-client-entry

I've used it as you describe quite successfully.

Are there any news on a support for item based localisation?

I would really like to implement a style for a German Journal that considers the item langauge for the page term (e.g. German item : S. 17 vs. English item: p. 17).

Thanks!
