Swedish translation

pebo
I have a small but important problem.

I have changed the citation language to Swedish. But when I cite pages it looks like this (2006, s 45), when it should look like this (2006 s. 45). How do I make Zotero put in that dot?

Also when it is several pages, Zotero writes (2006, ss 45-47), but in Swedish it should be (2006, s. 45-47). This problem is also in the bibliography, as when you use a chapter in an anthology (I N. Coupland & A. Jaworski (Reds), Sociolinguistics: a reader and coursebook (ss 291–305). Basingstoke :Macmillan.)

Also (Reds) is not correct Swedish. It should be (Red:er) in plural.

Can I fix this myself?

Thanks!

    The swedish locale is here.

    You can edit your style, just after </info>:

    <locale xml:lang="sv">
    <terms>
    <term name="page" form="short">
    <single>s.</single>
    <multiple>s.</multiple>
    </term>
    <term name="editor" form="short">
    <single>red</single>
    <multiple>red:er</multiple>
    </term>
    </terms>
    </locale>

    I've tried to modify a style, and the problems I had above i solved, thanks. But now there seems to be another problem: Zotero doesn't recognize å, ä, ö and have made these, and citation marks (") and hyphens (-) into �: Graffman, K., & Börjesson, K. (2011). �We are looking forward to some cool quotes!� Perspectives on Applied Etnography. (T. O’Dell & R. Willim, Red:er)Ethnologia Europaea. Journal of European Ethnology. Special Issue: Irregular Ethnographies, 41(1), 97�104.

    When I look at the style in notepad it looks ok, but in Zotero Refernce test pane it is with �.

    Help?!

    It looks like Notepad changed the encoding of the characters. Check to see if Notepad offers a character encoding setting. If so, be sure it is set to "UTF-8".

    @pebo, if you wish to contribute any Swedish translations, see the instructions at https://github.com/citation-style-language/locales/wiki.

    I can also update "reds" to "red:er" myself if that's the only thing.
