Just the other day I had downloaded
https://www.zotero.org/styles/apa-6th-edition (yes, even though there is
a 7th) and noticed when I was using > pandoc –metadata=lang:zh-TW

Regarding “讀取於 從”, what is the missing field that should be in
the blank spot? Double checking with.

We see it is not a missing field at all, but instead a straight 1:1
mapping from English, space included, lock, stock, and barrel.

Which alas is a disaster in Chinese.

First, there needs to be a way to tell this file that in this
particular language there is no space.

OK, that was too tough a challenge for me.

And then the word choice needs to be changed. But don’t quote me, I’m
not a native speaker.

At least I cobbled together this homebrew workaround,

<locale xml:lang=“zh-TW”> <terms> <!– I do not know
how to zap the space between these, so, –> <term
name=“from”>取自</term> <term
name=“retrieved”></term> </terms> </locale>

Just wanted to let you know.

By the way, it is super hard to know how to format posts here, as there is no formatting help.
