Double quotation marks issue for Chicago Manual of Style 18th edition

emilyalma
Dear all, I have been using the Chicago Manual of Style 18th edition (notes and bibliography, classic variants) since earlier this year. Whilst the style manual is clear that articles need to be cited with double quotation marks, the default Zotero style only gives it single quotation marks. However, in the style previe,w it shows double quotation marks. Does anyone know why this is so, or how this issue can be fixed? I don't feel confident in being able to customise the template myself. For example, it gives me the following: Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, 'More Thoughts on Cultural Translation', Transversal 4 (2008):3
Thank you for any advice, best wishes Emily

    The style uses your current locale by default -- I'm guessing that's "English (United Kingdom)" -- which uses single quotes and commas outside of quotation marks. If you want standard Chicago Manual with US punctuation, set the language to English (United States) in the Zotero Document Preferences in your word processor.

    Perfect, that worked! Thank you so much adamsmith for the swift support.
