I try to write a paper not in english but I can not figure out how to change the language of the “Zotero Integration” Plug-in so my output for a citation is not “p.” for page but something different for that specific language. I’m using APA.
If possible I would like to keep Obsidian itself in english but just change the Citation format. I the word plug-in its a simple button to change language of the citation style but I havn’t figured out how to do it in Obsidian. Has anyone faced a similar problem and found a solution?
Do you mean in the template file in Zotero or in Obsidian. Because in Obsidian the template is only for the import of notes from Zotero. Do you mean I need to edit the Citation Style in the “Zotero Citation Style Editor”?
i use this method for citation - i don’t care about chicago, washington, etc
if anyone cannot access the material through the zotero link, tough luck - it’s mostly for me anyway
Your own needs shouldn’t dictate the advice you give here. Most people doing academic work do need to adhere to certain standards. This can definitely be solved in a better way.
Believe me, no one wants to set off the rant you seem to have ready.
What I’m saying is simply that it’s completely irrelevant for the topic at hand whether you need to cite using a certain citation style, or whether you mostly write for yourself. And your prejudices against academics are especially irrelevant.
This is a help post where the goal is to help @CrashTestDummy cite as they need to cite.
Getting back on track, @CrashTestDummy, if you open Zotero’s settings, you can change the citation language under Export → Quick Copy → Item format → Language. This language choice will be reflected when you insert your citation using Zotero Integration’s “formatted citation” citation formats.
If you are using Zotero 6, the settings menu might be slightly different.
