Dear xbibliophiles,
If I can revive a thread that predates my membership on this list:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=26738384
I'd like to drag this proposal into a sufficiently mature shape to get
it on track for CSL 1.1 or so, since it has major implications for my
own scholarly work. Frank's summary of the needs for Asian scholarship
is just about the same as we need for Russian and Tatar scholarship as
well. In those cases, the bulk of the behavior changes is that the
terms should come from the locale that corresponds to the language of
the reference (in cases of Russian, English and occasionally in other
languages, either local (Tatar) or international (French)).
The proposal of setting default-locale and specifying locale on
<layout> tags, proposed by Frank on December 10, looks like a good
start:
<style ... default-locale="ja-JP">
...
<citation>
<layout locale="en" delimiter="; " suffix=".">
<text macro="citation-macro-2"/>
</layout>
<layout delimiter="。" suffix="。">
<text macro="citation-macro-1"/>
</layout>
</citation>
...
</style>
My only addition to this is that I think there's room for a global
option that would put localized terms in the language of the
reference, if the language is specified and the locale is defined.
Otherwise, there we'll have to add a lot of locale-based logic to
cover the common case of European styles that use
reference-language-appropriate terms for several common scholarly
languages. My only concern with such a global option is that we might
want to be able to restrict it to a set of locales, defined within the
style.
Regards,
Avram
