I'm quite new Latex so excuse my ignorance. I have translator set in my .bib file however when I use \printbibliography
no translator is printed. So currently my reference looks like this:
Surname, A. (2018). Article Title. Journal,10(3),92–101
When it should look like this:
Surname, A. (2018). Article Title (B. Translator, Trans.). Journal,10(3),92–101
Does the apa style in Biblatex allow for the translator option?
As an aside I found using the apacite
package would output a translator to the bibliography, however I couldn't find a way to output a full reference (such as what would appear in the bibliography) for my list of figures. I tried using \caption[{\fullcite]{Figure text}
but I quickly learned apacite
doesn't have a \fullcite
equivalent. This prompted my switch to biblatex
- that and I read the apa style for biblatex is supposed to be the 'correct' way to cite apa in Latex.
Many thanks!
Edit: full example, thanks to samcarter

and the appropriate packages that sets up the problem. While solving problems can be fun, setting them up is not. Then, those trying to help can simply cut and paste your MWE and get started on solving the problem.biblatex-apa
uses translator information for entrytypesbook
,inbook
,incollection
andinproceedings
. But not for other entrytypes, as far as I dug. You have there anarticle
entrytype for "The Works of John Smith", are you sure you are using the right entrytype for your actual case?
