Translated titles

Post by Svatopluk »

I've tried to follow the instructions of added the field for translated title (in my case, from Czech) using the formats manager, but I can't get it to appear in the reference pane where one enters the data.

Can anybody shed some light on this?

As ever.

Don't forget you have to modify the format for each Type you have.

Thanks Jon, do I do that by adding the alphanumeric 'u10' to the Primary Order window in Formatting Options?

Thanks.

Yes.

Do this for each Type in which you have translators.

Look at example, like APA 5th Book, to see how empty fields (like Translated Authors) are handled. It can get kind of messy.

Thanks Jon. I suppose this is something I can always add later if English publishers wan't the Czech titles translated. I do some more digging.

Thanks again,

OK. On re-reading your initial post I think I may have misunderstood. You do know that the field for translated author is in the reference drawer, right? This is independent of the format manager.

Proboha! I see my problem. The format manager will determine the placement of the translated title (format, etc.), the drawer the content.

Thanks Jon,
