APA citation errors with rare citations
When the editor and translator are the same person, I can't get the right output which is something like:
Altallan, M. (2001). The Oxbird legacy. In T. Boynes (Ed. & Trans), The Standard edition of the complete works of Altallan (Vol. 22, pp. 14-64). New York: Preston Press (Original work published 1973).
Zotero gives:
Atallan, M. (2001). The Oxbird legacy. In T. Boynes (Ed.), The Standard edition of the complete works of Altallan (Vol. 22, pp. 14–16). New York: Preston Press.
There's not a place for original work published information and there's not place to combine editor and translator into one!
(This example is from, oops, a competitor! I googled for it: http://citationonline.net/CitationHelp/csg04-manuscripts-apa.htm#25)
If I'm wrong, please tel me!

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.
The new version of the style will appear online within 30mins, update, by re-installing. In an existing document you may have to switch to a different style and back for changes to take effect. (note that it will be (Ed. & Trans.), which is correct. The period is missing in the example above).
Original date of publication isn't currently possible, will be in the not too distant future, though.
So I got Boynes, T in editor and translator fields right now?
I think the original publication date can act like the doi or URL does because it sticks in a "sentence" before it...
I got more for ya. I just need to remember to post them (I have super hard cites!)
The problem with the original publication date is not that we don't know how to deal with it - in fact, the citation style language could already do this right - but that there is no field in Zotero for that information.
