In China, when preparing a manuscript in Chinese, the citation for literature in English and Chinese is something like (Smith et al., 2020; 张三等, 2020), where "等" is "et al." Now the standard CSL seems not to support this kind of citation.
I have a style file, which supports that kind of citation, the related part is as follows: <layout locale="en" prefix="(" suffix=")" delimiter=", "> ... </layout> <layout prefix="(" suffix=")" delimiter=", "> ... </layout>
However, CSL validator indicated the code was not valid for CSL 1.0.2.
I can't see the code, but anything you'd do to make this work would use csl-m features and therefore indeed not be valid CSL 1.0.2 -- doesn't mean it doesn't work, but we wouldn't accept it to the repo

Any hints?
