AGLC4 Rule 26.4: Other Non-English Language Materials

Non-English secondary and other sources follow the ordinary rules for their source type, with an English translation of any non-English element in square brackets after it where appropriate. Published translations of books follow rule 6.7.

AGLC4 page 296

Formatting

  • Each translation sits in square brackets directly after the element it translates, roman, after a single space.
  • A translation of an italic title is roman.
  • For a quoted title the translation follows the closing single quote, and the comma comes after the square bracket.
  • The source's ordinary punctuation and publication details resume after the bracket.
