How do you cite sources in other languages

If you use the original version of a non-English work, cite the original version. Non-Latin alphabets are not used in the reference list in APA Style, so the title needs to be transliterated (that is, converted to the alphabet you are using to write a paper), and then followed by an English translation, in brackets.

Luckily, the solution is quite simple: If you translated a passage from one language into another it is considered a paraphrase, not a direct quotation. Thus, to cite your translated material, all you need to do is include the author and date of the material in the in-text citation.

Translated by Translator’s name (if you have translated it, state what language you have translated it from and your name/student ID number). Place of publication: Publisher (Originally published year if applicable). Available from: URL [Accessed date] (if applicable). e.g. Hua, L., 1999.

The Economist, Time, and Newsweek write Korean names with the family name first but without a hyphen in the given name (for example, Kim Dae Jung). In scientific journals, South Korean sci- entists write their names in Western order. Sometimes they hyphenate their given name, and sometimes they do not.

Chinese Language papers

There is no standard way to cite sources in Chinese papers. The Library at Hong Kong Baptist University links to some departmental and publication practices. In addition, the University of Taipei has published this Chinese-language guide to APA Style.

Formula for citing a foreign language source in Harvard:

Original title. Place of publication: Publisher. Harvard citation example: Piaget, J (1966).

List the last name first, followed by the first name and middle initials. Do not include academic credentials (e.g., MD, MPH, PhD) when citing doctors.

Create a label and descriptive title for each appendix item. Centre the label and title. Change the label to bold type e.g. Appendix A. If the material is from a published source,use the word ‘Source:’ followed by a short citation (author and year of publication) and place it at the bottom left of the appendix item.

This general rule in-text citation or in the reference list is to start with the author’s surname or family name. In Western names, the surname is the last name element. However, Chinese names, the surname is the first element. In some other Asian names, there are no surname elements.

In APA Style

For non-Latin scripts (e.g. Chinese) you must transliterate the reference into the English alphabet. This allows you to put your references into alphabetical order. Generally the best way to do this is using pinyin romanization, however note that it is not necessary to include any tone marks.

Reference: Last name, Initials of person interviewed. (Year of interview) ‘Title of the interview (if any)’. Interview by/with Interviewer’s First name Last name, Title of publication, Day Month of Publication, page numbers if present.

As Malay names do not include a family name, you can cite a name in the same way as it appears in a publication. Do not include bin, binti or binte nor titles such as Tun, Dato or Dr. For the in-text citation, use only the first name. For Indian names, you can cite a name in the same way as it appears in a publication.

Formula for citing a foreign language source in APA:

Author Last Name, First Initial. (Year Published). Title in the original language [Translated title]. Place of Publication: Publisher.

Formatting Author information:

Always list the author’s surname before listing his or her initials. You only need to provide initials for the first and middle names, but do include initials for all middle names provided by the source. Include a comma after every last name and in-between different authors’ names.

To cite works by these people, provide the full name without abbreviation, because abbreviating the given name would render the name unintelligible. So for example, a work by Sukarno, the first president of Indonesia, would be cited as such: Reference list: Sukarno.

The abbreviation “et al.” (meaning “and others”) is used to shorten in-text citations with three or more authors. Here’s how it works: Only include the first author’s last name, followed by “et al.”, a comma and the year of publication, for example (Taylor et al., 2018).

Cite the “Sahih Muslim” in-text first, using a parenthetical reference. Include the author’s name and the page number, the chapter, or the book and number you are citing. If you use the page number, use no punctuation between the name and the number.

An in-text citation for the Quran should include the number of chapter and the of the verse. The Chapter name does not need to be included because you are providing the chapter number. An example of such a citation would look like this: (The Qur’an,15:25), with 15 being the chapter and 25 being the verse.

The APA Style format for author names in reference list entries is to provide the author’s surname(s) followed by the initials of their given name(s). Example: Lee, C. L. (2017).

Ḥasan. Ḥasan (حَسَن meaning “good”) is used to describe hadith whose authenticity is not as well-established as that of ṣaḥīḥ hadith, but sufficient for use as supporting evidence.

Ibn al-Jawzi states that Imam Ahmad had 414 Hadith masters whom he narrated from. With this knowledge, he became a leading authority on the hadith, leaving an immense encyclopedia of hadith, al-Musnad.
