Mulitiple Language Capabilities #3

Closed crumleyc closed 4 years ago

crumleyc commented 4 years ago

Emily and I were just discussing LaTeX's capabilities with different languages. I am going to include multiple examples of citations, and figured might as well include some of them in the bibliography. That also got me thinking about in general. How can we make these documents work if the entire thing was written in another language other than english. How can we tell the compiler that this document consist of multiple languages?

Thoughts on how to approach this? Y'all got any experience? I don't.

Yeah babel is a good one. One year for the linguistics conference I had to typeset Mandarin Chinese... so there's always a way.

As far as specific support, I don't think UGA permits dissertations to be published in languages other than English, do they? Otherwise I would just point them towards specific resources.

My thinking with this was maybe the references might be in a different language or they may need to quote in a different language. When I was looking up ideas, I remember I found a thread that allowed you to specify at the time of use that this next bit will be in another language, other than the default.

I am currently looking at two things:

  1. How can out Bibliography contain multiple languages and how does citing them work
  2. What about footnotes being in different languages
