English instead of German et al. abbreviation

PhWe · February 18, 2022

Dear all,

I've got one problem. My et al. abbreviation has the German abbreviation "u. a." instead of the common "et al.". I can't find a solution to change that. Does anybody have a clue, how to fix that problem?

Thanks in advance and kind regards,
Philipp

Part of the code is: citation et-al-min="5" et-al-use-first="1"

You'll need to define the locale for this like so:


  <locale xml:lang="de">
    <terms>
      <term name="et-al">et al.</term>
    </terms>
  </locale>

Depending on the style your using you either just add that term to the already existing locale section or add the whole piece I posted here straight after the info section and before the first macro.
