Two improvement requests for the new bibliography subsystem: 1. Tag titles (and subtitles) with the language explicitly provided in the bib entry. 2. Add editor and translator to fields supported in \cite[field][tag]. An example follows.

It is apparently used for that in the bibliography, but it is needed as well in the text. (And yes, /Formenwandlungen/ does have the same hyphenation points in both German and English; this was just a convenient example.) It also shows that [translator] is not inserted into the text. *NOTE* that when \cite[editor][tag] is attempted (and present in the bib entry) compilation halts with the Lua error no string to print, but continues to completion when allowed. \mainlanguage[en] \startbuffer[TestBib] @BOOK{Tschichold1953, author = {Jan Tschichold}, title = {Formenwandlungen der \&-Zeichen}, year = {1953}, publisher = {D.

The most recent update (ConTeXt ver: 2017.10.29 15:44 MKIV beta fmt: 2017.10.30 int: english/english) has broken \cite processing. I now get the author name (poorly formatted) instead of the translator, and <empty> instead of the title, with the example document. If this is not the result of some misconfiguration or misuse of the macros on my part, can this part of the update be rolled back? -- Rik On 2017-10-21 19:00, Rik Kabel wrote:

Should be fixed. Also, your example should have \usebtxdefintions[apa] rather than \loadbtxdefinitionfile[apa]
