Italian localization not working

[Doc73]

I have seen that there are many developments on this package and therefore I propose this issue in italian (at least) localization.

Here is a MWE:

As you can see, some words remains in english and are in bold typeface. Log file says: Package biblatex Warning: Bibliography string 'pergament' undefined

OT: what do you think about a latin localization?

[wujastyk]

I think a Latin localization would be great! Maybe I should do a Sanskrit one. (But I don't have time right now.)

I compiled your MWE and got the attached PDF image. It looks great, but my compile shows some small residual spacing problems ("2column" etc.).

[Doc73]

Yes, these are the issues I report

[Doc73]

I would expect

1 colonna

and NOT

1column

or

pergamena

instead of

pergament

etc.

[maieul]

please check branch issue13. for the latin: why not. The priority is, however, to add the two new support to italian translation.

[Doc73]

I can't find branch issue13...

[maieul]

Should be here now.

[Doc73]

It's working, but

1. the words in bold are wanted?
2. the output produces abbreviated words: are they wanted?

Is it possible to have regular font and not abbreviated words?

Other remarks:

1. there are incorrect words;
2. there is a mixture of Italian forms and Latin forms.

I'll try to change them via github.

[maieul]

1. Yes, word in bold are wanted. You can change that by a redefinition of \mkmanuscriptdescriptionlabel and \mkmanuscriptdescriptionlabelparagraphed as explained in the handbook.
2. As usually, biblatex allow to use abbreviated or full form of word. Thats is the option abbreviate when loading the package (default=true)

Other remarks: I don't remember who send me this italian translation. In french, we can mix french and latin word, as some latin word are present tels quels in French.
