Upgrade StorageMultiple language locales in a single CSL format
For a format I am working on I would like to override the default locale values for multiple languages within my CSL format. An example:
If the users locale is "es" the abbreviation of "editors" should appear as "edd." Otherwise, if the user has a locale of "en" for example, use "eds."
I set up my format like the example below (I would actually like to set it up for 5 different languages, but just include a brief section below as an example). I cannot get it to work, however - Zotero only takes the first "locale" it finds and seems to apply it universally. Is this type of multiple language override possible currently in Zotero? If so, how do I do it? Thanks.
<locale xml-lang="es">
<terms>
<term name="editor" form="short">
<single>ed.</single>
<multiple>edd.</multiple>
</term>
<term name="collection-editor" form="short">
<single>ed.</single>
<multiple>edd.</multiple>
</term>
</terms>
</locale>

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
Otherwise, yes, styles should default to the language of the user, even if you define terms in multiple languages. See e.g. Vancouver for an example - it defines terms in French, English, and German.
