editortype uses non-standard localisation strings #231

Closed viccie30 closed 8 months ago

viccie30 commented 8 months ago

While trying to add a reference to a work with a compiler, I got an error even though the localisation string compiler is defined. biblatex-apa uses type<editortype>(s) instead of just <editortype>(s) as a localisation string. Section 2.3.6 of the biblatex manual specifies that "you may add more roles by initializing and defining a new localisation key whose name corresponds to the identifier in the editor...type field." I think biblatex-apa is wrong here and these 2 lines need to be changed. typechair(s) can then also be deleted from the localisation files.

Thank you for this - not sure how that error crept in there ...
