Export to bib-file with different languages
Hi all!
I'm working on different papers in two separate languages where I use some references in both papers. I have created a collection in Zotero for each paper and I export those collections as biblatex bib-files and use them when I write the papers in LaTeX.
However, for those references that occur in both papers, I want to use an English translation of some publishers and some of the titles in one, and a Swedish version in the other. Is there some way to handle this, or do I have to make separate entries for each of the languages?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Best,
Richard

Original Title: Title
and then use an appropriate bib style to get both when needed.You could also switch to using Juris-M, a version of Zotero with expanded multilingual capabilities, but I’m not sure exactly how those work with BibTeX, so you’d have to explore that.

I think switching to Juris-M will a too big step for me right now.
I found the guide here https://retorque.re/zotero-better-bibtex/customized-exports/, so I guess I write something like this in the Extra field?
bibtex*{
origpublisher: "A Swedish name of an organisation",
origtitle: "Some title in Swedish"
}
And then try to handle it when I print the biography in LaTeX.
All the best,
Richard
I have used this format for orginal date in the extra field:
{:original-date: 1960}
Is it not necessary to have the curly brackets and the first colon?
Also, can I somewhere find some list over what extra fields that can be handled by BBT and Zotero?
Thank you for your help (and for BBT)!

I don't know exactly what Zotero supports but probably all of the variables listed in https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex/blob/master/content/csl-vars.json (as these are just the standard CSL variables). BBT supports a subset of those; each "case" in
https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex/blob/master/translators/bibtex/reference.ts#L561 is supported, and I can add more as I find them and a decent mapping for them.
Best,
