Non-English text-case set to “title” not working
Hello,
Actually i have 2 questions. its both related.
1.
When i am using Zotero "en" language as bibliographies title case working very well.
But when i am using Zotero in other language like "tr". title case not working! how can i manage it work in "tr" language?
2.
I am perparing documents in Turkish. So if i use languge options as "en", "title case" working very well but this time "et-al" terms need to be changed but i cant find a way to change "et-all" terms
any advice?

-Title casing is only applied to English items.... okey!

But what if other language users also needs to use this (title case) feature?
Any idea how to chance "et-al" terms in for english language option?
But yeah, title-casing the title in Zotero itself solves the problem. For the OP: Right-click on title and choose "Title Case" for an automated conversion ("Başlık Biçimi" in the Turkish localization; please suggest a better translation for title and sentence case if you know them, and I'll update them). You may need to manually correct "Ve", "İle", etc, and hit Refresh in the Zotero plugin in your word processor.
For "et-al", it has to do with the citation style you are using, and it may need to be localized? Others should chime in.
If Zotero applies title case by skipping a list of words and capitalize the rest, the same can be created for other languages that follow their own title case implementation. However, there is possibly no problem to solve here, since the user can always apply title case as they enter sources in their library. So, sorry for the distraction.
I am also on thin ground here since I have no training in linguistics, so I am happy to be corrected.
However, the OP has a legitimate question on localization of "et al." that can be addressed via citation styles.
@bwiernik thanks for interesting.
1. I am using Apa 7th edition and "tr" language option.
2. As alternative maybe non-english users can use Zotero as english language options but this time "et-al" terms need to be changed but i cant find a way to change "et-all" terms is that any way ?
@enozkan thanks for answer,
.....However, the OP has a legitimate question on localization of "et al." that can be addressed via citation styles.
I am okey with using zotero as english language even in Non-english articles, i just dont want to manually correct "et-al" terms. I want to do it in citation styles.
is anybody knows that how can i change "et-al" terms (and other terms, it can be some more i cant remember now ) in english citation styles?
The general instruction for changing terms are via the locale/terms element in the citation style, see
https://docs.citationstyles.org/en/stable/specification.html#locale
but we can give you something more specific if we know which style you're starting from.
