Automatic translation french in American psychological association 6th

BoB_VoiD
Hello, i am searching how to change the automatic translation because for web sites it's not good:

Le Ny, J. (2008). Encyclopædia Universalis : APPRENTISSAGE. Retrouvé Décembre 21, 2010, de http://www.universalis-edu.com/encyclopedie/apprentissage/#

The date format is not good too .

It should be :

Le Ny, J. (2008). Encyclopædia Universalis : APPRENTISSAGE.Vu le 21 Décembre, 2010, Sur http://www.universalis-edu.com/encyclopedie/apprentissage/#

Where can i change the date format and the translations words for french???
Thank's a lot

Happy holidays

    In general we will overhaul translations soon-ish.
    Until then you´ll have to change this in the terms section of the style - unless you´re somewhat comfortable writing code, this is probably going to be too technical, but here are the general instructions:

    sorry, no time for more specific instructions.

    hello,
    thank's for quick answer.

    I don't understand verry well the way it work :
    I tried :

    <terms>
    <locale xml:lang="fr">
    <term name="retrieved" form="Verb">Vu sur</term>

    </locale>
    </terms>

    after </info> and load the style


    but it don't work ....
  • adamsmith
    almost - try this
    <term name="retrieved">Vu le</term>
    <term name="from">Sur</term>
    (with all the locale settings like you have above).
    That should fix everything but the order of the date - you'd have to fix that down in the accessed macro if it's important.

    See here:
    http://www.zotero.org/support/csl_simple_edits
    for some general tips and how to get your style back into Zotero.

    Thank's for your help.
  • adamsmith
    that should certainly work. Have you tried it in the test panel?
    chrome://zotero/content/tools/csledit.xul
    I have the exact code you use working for me.
    The macros do not affect the terms, no.
