New (?) MLA error: no translator

Samuel Steinberg
Something weird has happened with MLA style: it seems that the translator field has been omitted or displaced.
  • adamsmith
    you installed the most recent style from the repository? Could you give a sample citation with how it looks and how it should look?
  • Samuel Steinberg
    Yes...installed the version from 6/17/2011.

    Example:

    Rancière, Jacques. _The Emancipated Spectator_. London: Verso, 2009.

    Should be:

    Rancière, Jacques. _The Emancipated Spectator_. Trans. Gregory Elliot. London: Verso, 2009.


    I hadn't encountered this error before; perhaps it was introduced with the recent update.

    best,
    s.
  • adamsmith
    yes, that's likely - there has been a major revamp of the style with many improvements, but it's possible something fell off, I'll have a look.
  • adamsmith
    OK - style is correct, but somehow there's a bug in how it's processed, I'll follow up with the csl team and hope to have that fixed in the next version of Zotero.
    Let me know if this is urgent, there is an existing workaround, but it's a little complicated so unless you're in a hurry likely not worth it.
  • adamsmith
    OK, this is fixed in csl and will be fixed in the next version of Zotero, due out relatively soon I'd think.
