(p. for pages in English, S. for pages in German, different terms for "Editors" and so on).
How can you deal with it?
If your paper, book (or whatever) is to be published in other languages than English, you need a special format for each language.
To create a new language specific format, do the following:
1. Open Formats Manager and select a format of your choice.
2. Duplicate the format by clicking on the "+" sign in the lover left corner of the window and chose 'Replicate all Types' from the dropdown menu
3. Right-click on the new format in the window's left column and select Show "your format name" in Finder.
4. In Finder, add the language name to the format name, for example, "MLA 8th, my GERMAN".
5. Now quit and relaunch Bookends in order see the new format with the new name. Make sure it's activated by ticking the right box.
6. Now you have to change the names or the abbreviations for: page, editor, vols, translator, edition, this edition first, original edition, first published; and perhaps a few things more. You'll have to do this with
all the Reference Types of the format (book, journal article, book chapter, etc.) This is not difficult, because all you have to do is to replace the English names with names in the language you want to publish in.
7. You may also need to adjust or create a few new language specific Reference Types for the new format. An example: if you are writing in German and want to cite a chapter of a book written by a male author, you would use the Reference Type "Book chapter" after having added "In ders." into the format. However, if the author is a woman, you should create a new Reference Type and name it "Book chapter WEIBLICH". To comply with common German usage and indicate that the author is a woman, this Reference Type should contain "In
dies." instead of "In
ders."
If this was not clear, please don't hesitate to ask again.
