Hey guys,

I wonder if u could help me with this issue! I want to cite a translated book, but i can,t!

I add the translator,s name in the translator section, but it doesn,t appear!

I mean for eg. Whean i want to cite “Hopscotch” written by Julio Cortazar and translated by Gregory Rabasa,

Instead of this: 1. Julio Cortazar, Hopscotch, translated by Gregory Rabassa. New York:Pantheon Books, 1966.

It appears like this: 1. Julio Cortazar, Hopscotch. New York …

I appriciate your help :wink:

 PS: i still use the X1 :catvery-happy:

It sounds like the output style’s template is missing both the “translated by” and Translator field. Which output style are you using?

3

I usually use “vancouver”, however i tried almost every out put to solve this, but it was not the solution!

4

Have you tried APA 6th?

That produces:

Rabelais, F. (1968). The essential Rabelais (S. Putnam, Trans.): Chatto & Windus.

for an entry for a translated book.

I know, that was an example i,ve found on internet!

So, it works with APA 6TH, but it,s not numbered! And i need it to be vancouver! But when i choose the vancouver, the translators name does not appear! What should i do?

Here is another technical question: what should i put in the publisher section of a translated book, The Original publisher or the publisher of the translated version?

I meant that the APA is not numbered, and i need it to be vancouver which is numbered!

Here i attached a library, i’d be thankfull i u could take a look at it :wink:
