[Enhancement] Hungarian names in bibliography

[hegedusbela]

Description

I apologise in advance for being unprofessional. I have my bibliography in Zotero, I save to Better JSon automatically, from there I paste the items into Zettlr. I write mostly in Hungarian, German and English. In Zotero I always specify that the item is in "hu", "de" or "en" etc. The Hungarian naming order is different from other languages, we always use the family name first. I have noticed that the Zettlr bibliography displayer always displays the names correctly. If it is a Hungarian work, it does not put a comma after the surname. And when bibliographic items are pasted directly from Zotero into OpenOffice (usually in Chicago style), the names are always in the correct order. However, when I export the markdown file (with pandoc), the naming order is no longer correct. I can't figure out the reason for this, but it would be very important if there was a solution.

Proposed Changes

Actually, I would be most happy if the markdown export showed exactly the same result as the direct paste from Zotero into OpenOffice.

Caveats

No caveats. :-)

Thanks so much for opening up your first issue here on the repository! 🎉 We would like to warmly welcome you to the community behind the app! ☺️ We'll check in soon and have a look at your issue. In the meantime, you can check your issue and make sure it aligns with our contribution guidelines! Here's the comprehensive list:

Enhancements

An enhancement takes a feature and improves or alters its behaviour. Please make sure to argue how your proposition will aid non-technical text workers, and why it can't be emulated easily with other features or apps!

Feature requests

Feature requests introduce whole new features into the app. This requires a lot of work, so these might be turned down if the implementation costs supersede the benefits we expect to see from implementing it. Please do not be disappointed if that happens. It likely has nothing to do with your great request but simply with us and our missing resources! You can of course always ask someone to implement this feature, because a PR with a working new feature has much higher chances of being merged! :)

Bug reports

Please note that one of the main reasons for why bug reports cannot be addressed is that there's not enough information for us to find and fix the bug you describe, so make sure you try to pinpoint the bug as close as possible. The ideal bug report for us has two qualities:

1. The bug is always reproducible, at least within a certain context. 2. We know exactly what specifically goes wrong, and there is consensus on what should happen instead.

Please note that if you encounter behaviour that does not align with your expectations of what would happen, this might as well be simply intended behaviour and we need to simply clarify why the behaviour is the way it is. This is not to be considered a bug and such issues may be closed! Suggest an enhancement instead! But now, have a great day and thank you again!

Pandoc is by default using a different citation style as Zettlr. I believe Zettlr uses Chicago Manual of Style, but I could be wrong. In any case, I think that this might be the cause!

Thank you for your reply.

Unfortunately I was not clear. I use the Chicago author-date style in all cases, as does the Zettlr display. When exporting from Zettlr Markdown to odt, the language is set to hu-HU.

1. Item from Zotero to OpenOffice directly.

zotero_odt_pdf.pdf

It can be seen that if the language of the referenced source document is Hungarian, there is no comma after the surname at the beginning, but if it is "lat", "de" and "it", then yes. The order of the names of the contributors is also correct.

2. Zettlr bibliography viewer.

Same as before.

3. Exported markdown file from Zettlr to odt.

zotero_md_odt.pdf

In all cases, it displays the names as if they belong to a non-Hungarian text.

I'm thinking that there might be some difference between the way pandoc citeproc and citeproc.js work.
