Most of the sources are in Russian. I’d use everything (titles, author names) in original spelling (i.e. cyrillic), but would like to provide also a transliteration. In German and English issues I’d like to use a „Latin“ reference code, in Russian a Cyrillic (or original-type) one. What format would you suggest for the database? Can ConTeXt MkIV already handle something „better“ than .bib? (I guess the information in the wiki is outdated?) Does general BibTeX documentation still apply?

Thanks for the hint, I didn’t look after that. I guess I will use the Lua syntax, since it’s the shortest.

I found this about BibLaTeX / Babel: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/28010/how-to-create-multilingual-english-japanese-bibliographies-with-biblatex-bib It’s nearly the same problem as mine. BibLaTeX 3.0 + Biber 2.0 are advertised to support this syntax: @COLLECTION{yanagida_zengaku_sosho_1975, LANGID = {japanese}, EDITOR = {柳田聖山}, EDITOR_romanised = {Yanagida, Seizan}, TITLE = {禪學叢書}, TITLE_romanised = {Chūbun shuppansha}, TITLE_translated_english = {Collected Materials for the Study of Zen}, LOCATION = {京都}, LOCATION_romanised = {Kyōto}, LOCATION_translated_english = {Kyoto}, PUBLISHER = {中文出版社}, PUBLISHER_romanised = {Chūbun shuppansha}, DATE = {1974/1977} } … and extract the right version according to configuration. Is there support for these constructed keys in ConTeXt?

There are commands to choose a specific variant, but you can also define fallbacks. So something like "Editor (Editor_translated)" or "Editor translated but fall back to editor if it doesn't exist" is possible. The main problem is not to get lost in the variants/fallback chains. Another problem is to get name lists right: After all it is possible that only some authors needs to be romanised. But with the help of the name hashes I was at the end able to do something like "Müller and 柳田聖山 (Yanagida, Seizan) ..." Smaller problems are how to write the names correctly -- after all not everywhere in the world names follows the "lastname, fistname" convention.

That was my initial impression too. There are simply too many combination possible. In such a case it makes more sense to tune the rendering than to figure out all the options. So, in context speak that would mean something: \btxdoif {title} { \btxspace \btxflush{title} \btxdoifelse {title_variant_b} { \btxleftparenthesis \btxflush{title_variant_b} \btxrightparenthesis } { \btxdoif {title_variant_a} { \btxleftparenthesis \btxflush{title_variant_a} \btxrightparenthesis } } \btxperiod } Authors are of course somewhat more complex as there one needs to deal with the way names are constructed. But even then, in such cases adapting a few setups is not most work. > Another problem is to get name lists right: After all it is possible > that only some authors needs to be romanised.

Well to tune the rendering one has to sort out the logic first ;-) You first has to decide "do I want title_variant_a always, or only if the main language of the document is english, or only if an option is set or only if ...". What should happen if the language of the document is in japanese, the bib-entry is a french book and there is a translated_chinese variant of the title? > So, in context speak that would mean something: In the end the biblatex code is similar.

In this special case it seemed the logical thing to do. "Müller (Müller) and 柳田聖山 (Yanagida, Seizan) ..." or "Müller and 柳田聖山 (Müller and Yanagida, Seizan) ..." would look odd. -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/ ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

According to the APA style guide: "If the original version of a non-English article is used as the source, cite the original version. Give the original title and, in brackets, the English translation." "If an English translation of a non-English article is used as the source, cite the English translation. Give the English title without brackets." Other styles might specify differently. Hans and I are working (furiously) on the new mkiv bibliography subsystem. We have been discussing language (with Thomas as well). The title= will be typeset (and hyphenated) according to the language= field, if present; The rest of the bibliography list ("and", for example) will be typeset using the document language. A global bibliography rendering option can modify this choice.
