• @haleenah: There is some work in progress to reimplement the New Zealand Law Style as a Juris-M module. Modular styles are a neat new thing that will allow you to cite NZ materials correctly, by local conventions, in documents that require Chicago, …

  in [MLZ] Word-Prosessor Plugin does not work with Juris-M Comment by fbennett July 24, 2015
• Yes, do install Juris-M. Despite the name change, it's basically an MLZ version upgrade. Here is a note that explains the new name, and the need for a manual install.

  in [MLZ] Word-Prosessor Plugin does not work with Juris-M Comment by fbennett July 24, 2015
• Yes, it should be all sorted now. From https://juris-m.github.io/downloads install "Library Client" and the Juris-M word processor plugin of your choice. You may need to manually disable the WP plugin for official Zotero, if that does not happen au…

• Why are there different NDP / DP variants?Where there are multiple entries, the classification of the particle depends on its location (front of the family field, end of the given field). I don't actually know if that is ever desirable, but that's w…

  in Any idea why an "A" author comes last in the bibliography Comment by fbennett July 24, 2015
• @nickbart: That's it. The first-listed pair is the default, so single-entry particles are forced to that form, regardless of whether they are entered in the family or the given field. Classification of particles with two (or more) entries can be con…

• The first thing to try would be a manual upgrade, installing the "Library Client" from https://juris-m.github.io Juris-M is the lineal descendent of MLZ, with the same features. The old code will probably not work well with the latest version of Fi…

  in [MLZ] RTF/ODF Scan Playing Hide and Seek Comment by fbennett July 23, 2015
• That shouldn't happen (of course). A couple of questions ... Is this with MLZ, or with Juris-M?Does the action performed by the menu item also change?

• @nickbart: If you would the classification of the "La" particle to be changed, please raise the issue on the CSL list (xbiblio-devel), so that other project maintainers can participate in the discussion.

• For round-trip export and import, variant fields need to be tagged by language. RDF and the CSL processor JSON format support language tagging. BibTeX does not, unfortunately, and that makes it unsuitable (or at least not very robust) for handling m…

• As aurimas says. The plugin previously worked only with Firefox, but it was fixed recently to work with Standalone as well.

• The Word plu gins do not work currently, but they will be fixed very soon (within a day). Please stand by.

• The only fully multilingual structured metadata design that I have encountered on a website cite CiNII, but there might be others. Unfortunately, the entries in CiNII are not curated, and although the RDF model that they use is fully capable, the me…

  in Juris-M / MLZ: Transliteration doesn’t appear in exported file Comment by fbennett July 21, 2015
• The Juris-M MODS export translator is definitely meant to handle language variants - a research cluster at Heidelberg University relies on it. I'll take a look at it later today; possibly there is a version mismatch that needs adjusting, or it may n…

• ttulcin: Can you post a sample citation here that you have not edited manually, but that is issuing a "request for modification" notice? The plain text form will do, no need to replicate the formatting.

  in Can't Insert Citation-Zotero asks to modify all my citations Comment by fbennett July 21, 2015
• This is a processor bug, and will be fixed in the next release of Zotero. You can test the fix by installing the Processor Patch plugin. Be sure to remove it when you next update Zotero.

  in Apostrophe in Last Name Comment by fbennett July 21, 2015
• As far as I know, the *.bib format does not have a mechanism for storing field variants. (If it does, the export translator would need to be extended to support it.)

  in Juris-M / MLZ: Transliteration doesn’t appear in exported file Comment by fbennett July 21, 2015
• @hintze, @bbbear2002: Try installing the Processor Patch plugin. (If it doesn't work, uninstall it.)

  in bibliography alignment Comment by fbennett July 21, 2015
• Yes, the same issue will affect most styles that use second-field-align.

  in bibliography alignment Comment by fbennett July 21, 2015
• Wait, that was backwards. As coded, you would always want to set normalizeApostrophe to "true," of course. The first invocation of apostropheNormalizer() sets apostrophes to the straight-single-quote form for parsing, and the second forces them to …

• It looks extraneous, and I can't imagine a case where it would be useful as coded. An option to disable the second invocation of apostropheNormalizer() to get monospaced plain text output would make sense a little, although there's probably not much…

• Re getting at the name parts, there is no option for it, but it could be set up to dump the serialized JSON into a log file. The story so far seems to be that opinions differ. These two are apparently both seen in name-as-sort-order entries (with t…

• Meanwhile, I have had one success report on a fix for the Juris-M Word plugin issue. I need to get some more beta test results tomorrow (today was a holiday in Japan, and I wasn't able to get responses from everyone). After it's all confirmed to be …

  in Translation of book and review titles Comment by fbennett July 20, 2015
• Your English is fine. The CSL dropdown is no longer needed, because the latest version (following Zotero) provides a better way of controlling the primary bibliography language, with the "Language" option in document preferences (from inside the wor…

• It would be very helpful to have a discussion of Arabic name issues that involves the CSL designers. There do seem to be some special requirements here, and now that we are classifying particles explicitly, there is a good prospect of getting option…

• Okay, I'll leave things as they are. For documentation (to respond to nickbart, above) I think the thing to do will be to construct a dynamic page that accepts a list of particles or names, and returns a detailed explanation of how those specific i…

• (The non-capitalization conforms to the CSL specification. If it is an annoyance, that would also be an issue for the CSL list—I just work here. :)

• akateman: Good to see your post above, this sounds like progress. So there is still a possibility that Arabists might prefer this category of particles to be treated as a third category. That can be done, but it would need to be agreed on the CSL l…

  in Any idea why an "A" author comes last in the bibliography Comment by fbennett July 20, 2015
• Further notes: The total dropping of "al-" in short-form names happens because, as nickbart says, the particle is set as "dropping" in the old processor release. If the new processor produces satisfactory results, the next question will be whether…
